Edit the View Style, setting the Hidden Lines to be dashed.
Edit->View->View Dependent Edit.
Select the Edit Entire Objects option.
Set the Line Color, Font, and Width that you want the hidden lines to appear as.
Select the hidden lines that you want to remain "visible" in the view.
Edit the View Style, setting the Hidden Lines to Invisible.

The above worked in NX6 and on NX6 files opened in NX9.

It doesn't appear to work on native NX9 files.

Anyone else experienced this?

NX 9.0.2.5 (Desperate for 9.0.3)
NX 10 (Testing)
Windows 7 64 (Windows 8.1 Tablet)
 
Using NX 9.0.3.3 (not yet released) with a model created from scratch in NX 9.0, it worked fine.

I called it in, but it's already on a PR.

Was this an assembly or a single piece part?

I tested on a single piece part with a separate drawing file.

That was how I tested it as well.
