Yes, it is documented in INSTALL.MacOSX in the top level directory of the LyX sources. As I said, the built LyX application is using Mac OS resources only. OTOH, the process to build it needs some developer tools, e.g. from MacPorts :) In case you want to try my latest build I've upload it already to my public DropBox here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27842660/LyX-2.1.0dev%2Bqt4-cocoa.dmg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27842660/LyX-2.1.0dev%2Bqt4-cocoa.dmg.sig The 2nd file contains the detached signature. This build is not bundled with the hunspell dictionaries but Apples OS spell checker service should do it too. Remember, it's a preview only and shouldn't be used for serious work. As JMarc said, we're all waiting for some months for the upcoming 2.1 release already, I'm sorry to say that.
