You can use the current spec file to install with a different
prefix.
To install to a different prefix than /usr, use:
rpm -ivh --prefix /usr/local lyx-1.1.6cvs-1.i386.rpm
You might have to use --force as well.
I tested this and it works.
Just use a prefix like /usr/local/devel or any other unique directory
not normally on your path.
