I dont think you can hide an individual face, unless you write a script that pertains to a particular face. What you can do is assign a texture to a face, and make it invisible... :shrug:

Try doing a search on CGTalk for a question like this...

My response has what you're looking for.

Edit: I guess since Alias recently changed the site around, the link is dead...look for bonus game tools on the Alias website.

Using Isolate select you can hide faces,

From your viewport select all the faces you want visable then go to Show>>Isolate select>>View Selected Now it will only display what you had selected.

Then to hide other faces, select them, then go to Show>>Isolate Select>>Remove Selected Objects and they will be hidden.

There is also a hide faces script with the Bonus Game tools package so you might want to check that out.
