A little unclear what you mean.
_only_ the figure on that page, or the figure first on that page
and perhaps some text too if the figure didn't need the whole page?
This is taken from lyx-1.4, but lyx-1.3 have much of the same options:
Insert a figure float, put the figure in that. Right-click the float
in order to bring up placement options.
Use "top of page" if you want the float to appear first on a page, while
also allowing text.
Use "page of floats" to put the float on a page of its own, without
any text interfering. If your figures are small, then several might
go on the same page. If you don't like that, then the easy way is
to make the float bigger so nothing more fits.
Another and better option, use ERT: \setcounter{totalnumber}{1}
for maximum one float per page.

I know of no lyx specific way, but surely latex can do this.
Look up exiting latex tips, and put the latex command(s) you
need in ERT or the preamble. Ask on a latex maling
list if you can't find this from here.
www.lyx.org have some links to latex tip pages, I believe.
