Dr. Chip's VisIncr.vim script may be what you want:

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=670

You _can_ do things like

:'<,'>s/^/\=(1+line('.')-line("'<")).'. '

to number un-numbered lines (like you describe), or

'<,'>s/^\(\d\+\. *\)\=/\=(1+line('.')-line("'<")).'. '

to re-number lines that may (or may not) have already been numbered.
