Are you running the Amiga version of LightWave now?  If so, then try
using the Julienne macro in modeler to slice an object into as many
segments as you need on any axis.  It's a simple task to just triple the
resulting polygons and merge points (if necessary) to essentially get the
same effect as subdividing.  I've never tried displacement map animating
an object that has been "subdivided" like this, but it should work fine.

If you don't have the Amiga version, then wait for the final release of
LightWave...there should be a plugin that does the same thing as the
Julienne macro.
