The generic solutions would be a way to define math-macros in module
files.
However, siunitx also works in text mode, so this is also only half of
the solution.
Currently, you can (re)define TeX commands with GUI-feedback in LyX in
two ways:
layout/module files document
math mode - math-macro
text mode InsetLayout -
there is clearly something missing ;-)
Also, definitions in the layout file are limited to just one command
argument (+ one optional), hence not working for e.g. \unit{1}{cm}.
