2002 RX300 valve cover replacement
Does Lexus replace valve cover gaskets during 90K and 180K maintenance which includes timing belt replacement (for a 2002 RX300)?

They will if you ask them to, extra cost of course.

I don't think it's listed in the recommended maintenance schedule, but I don't have it in front of me to be sure. I doubt they'd recommend replacing them if no leakage is occurring.

It is not a scheduled service item and should be replaced if it is leaking .. which it typically does after 8-10 yrs. The heat cycles just make the gasket shrink and then leak.
