Yes, they can! I bought a propane firepit from http://wiki.answers.com/Does_lava_rocks_explode#yesterday, put it together and fired it up last night, and about ten minutes later one of the lava rocks exploded, sounding about like a .22 rifle going off and sending a good-sized chunk flying into my ceiling fan at extremely high velocity. I was searching the web to see if it was a common phenomenon (it doesn't seem to be), and I found this question!

Yes, rocks in a fire pit can explode if they contain moisture or air pockets. When heated, the trapped moisture or air can expand rapidly, causing the rock to explode. It's important to use heat-resistant rocks and allow them to fully dry before using them in a fire pit to reduce the risk of explosions.
