Maya has a crack procedure but it is fairly outdated nowadays, I would recommend heading over to Highend3D and downloading a script called 'crackMe'. You can then use this script to cut up the geometry before you turn the pieces into rigid bodies.

If you want to make it look random when it explodes, use the shatter, but if you want it to be uniform, juswt seperate the faces as you said.... than use rigids and a keyed radial field.
