I'm not sure exactly what you want...
If you only want to 'italize' the word where you insert the actual index,
you can do this using some kind of ERT. Try inserting this into your
preamble
\newcommand\myindex[1]{\emph{#1}\index{#1}}
and then use it in your text as follows:
Some \myindex{strange attractors} are...
where \myindex{strange attractors} should be in a ERT box.
Just for the fun of it, I even put it inside a math macro, see the
attached file for an example.

Sure, but then you would have to use \index{something} in ERT whenever
you don't want the italics. Personally, I use italics only the first time
a new word occur.
Btw, if you think typing
C-l \myindex{}
to create the ERT box is too much, just define a keyboard binding that
does that for you.

Canonical solution is mentioned in makeindex.dvi (part of your
distribution), page 5:
\newcommand{\ii}[1]{{\it #1}}
and then you can say:
\index{gnat|ii}
which makes this particular page number italicized. I did not try it,
but I think, that you could try to write directly gnat|ii (without
quotes) to the particular dialog box of LyX. What does it do?
