Not so far as I know. This is a pretty unusual situation, and LyX is
definitely not set up to use different temporary directories for
different files in the same session. You might try setting up a second
user directory, and launching Lyx with:
lyx -userdir /home/you/.lyxcrypt/
when you need to do so.
