Roger,
I would use a polyester resin, to do the repair not an acrylic. The propping up should work but when you remove the 2x4 what’s going to hold the piece in place?
You need to attach the piece you are going to prop up with the 2x4 to something. If you cannot get any glues behind the stone you may want to drill a small hole into the stone and into the sub straight and inject some glue or epoxy into the hole to help hold the piece in place.

Subject: [sccpartners] Fire Place Repair
I need to do repair on a fire place marble, please see attached picture. I was thinking about propping up the broken pieces with 2X4 and filling the crack with tinted knife grade acrylic. My question is, will heat affect the acrylic? Also what do you think about my course of action to fix the problem.
