I think you are looking for the VPLAYER command with this option:
"Newfrz (New Freeze)
Creates new layers that are frozen in all viewports.
Enter name(s) of new layers frozen in all viewports: Enter one or more layer
names"
Although this does freeze it in the current VP so you need to Thaw it in the
current VP.
