Have you read the help page closely enough, I wonder?

If I look at the mle2 help page, I see an argument called 'fixed' described as 
"Named list. Parameter values to keep fixed during optimization."

Looking at the first example, i see an example of that in the line
fit1F <- mle2(LL, fixed=list(xhalf=6))

If I run that, I see mle2 use xhalf as a fixed parameter, iterating only over 
the remaining parameter, y 

That looks awfully like what you seem to want, with no change to your negative 
log-likelihood function at all.
