Sure. Say you originally tried to download a file named "a.txt" that was 1000 bytes long. Then you will see a temporary file named Nx-1000-a.txt in your Incomplete directory, where x is some seemingly random slot number. (Again, we're assuming normal downloads only. Push downloads are a slightly different beast.)

Now, say you want to resume where the download left off from a file named b.txt that is 999 bytes long. You should rename the incomplete file to Ny-999-b.txt, where y is LimeWire's next "slot number". Figuring out y isn't so easy. If you have just started LimeWire and have no downloads, y should be 0. It is incremented after every subsequent download. In any case, when you try to download "b.txt" from your search result window, LimeWire will be fooled into trying the resume from the incomplete file for a.

Yup, it's a pain and we're planning on improving this. Keep in mind, however, that you probably won't have to do this if you really take advantage of LimeWire's smart grouping feature; go for groups with four stars and lots of entries, and LimeWire's "resume across hosts" feature will do the work for you.
