Sure. From the help file:
Using different page number styles
You need some pages with the roman numbering style, followed by the
remaining pages in another style.
In Writer, you will need different Page Styles. The first Page Style has
a footer with a page number field formatted for roman numbers. The
following Page Style has a footer with a page number field formatted in
another look.
Both Page Styles must be separated by a page break. In Writer, you can
have automatic page breaks and manually inserted page breaks.
*
An *automatic page break* appears at the end of a page when the
Page Style has a different "next style".
For example, the "First Page" Page Style has "Default" as the next
style. To see this, you may press F11 to open the *Styles and
Formatting* window, click the *Page Styles* icon, right-click the
First Page entry. Choose *Modify* from the context menu. On the
Organizer tab, you can see the "next style".
*
A *manually inserted page break* can be applied without or with a
change of page styles.
If you just press *Ctrl+Enter*, you apply a page break without a
change of styles.
If you choose *Insert - Manual break*, you can insert a page break
without or with a change of style or with a change of page number.
It depends on your document what is best: to use a manually inserted
page break between Page Styles, or to use an automatic change. If you
just need one title page with a different style than the other pages,
you can use the automatic method:
And to show you how I got there. Type page numbers in the index box, go
down to inserting/defining/formatting
