You can use biblatex in lyx with a few workarounds, all detailed in the corresponding wiki page: http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex. In short, you have to load biblatex and the bib files manually in the preamble, and you have to enter a command in ERT in your text to instruct LyX to print out the list of references. You are still able to enter references through a dialog box as you would when using bibtex. In practical terms, using biblatex in lyx is not much different from using bibtex, at least if you use the standard styles and citing commands. Having full support would be great, but the current setup is more than usable.
