Theoretically, you can do it in a different task, use select() to wait for 
multiple sockets when you would be blocked waiting for input anyway and/or 
use non-blocking sockets if you were going to be doing a busy poll anyway.

But the more efficient choice is to enable the LWIP_SO_RCVBUF option in 
lwipopts.h and use setsockopt() to set it.
