I think you can (but it's a tad ugly). Insert the enumeration as usual.
At the beginning of the first item, insert the following in ERT
(including the brackets):
[\setcounter{enumi}{2}(2)]
The "(2)" will be the number for the first item, and needs to be formatted
as it will appear in the text. The numbering will be off in the LyX GUI
but should be correct in the output file.

Definitely the preferred route for an interrupted enumeration.
