I've here pdflatex in the auctex menu, seems that one bibtex run is needed to
build the .bbl file, then two pdflatex runs (as in standard latex)
are OK to build the pdf.
I don'see any reason why the index and glossary should not work that
way, so that inserting a pdflatex line in the File popup menu
should not be very difficult.
What is needed in addition is:
- remove the .eps extensions after file selection for figures to use the
ability of graphicx to deal with any kind of extensions,
- add a pdftex class option (why not in the PS driver submenu ?
PDF is a particular driver) to shift from PS,
- leave to the user the epstopdf conversion step.
I know it's easier to describe it than to do it, but is is very
complicated to implement ?

Sure, but to be able to run pdflatex on the exported .tex, LyX
shopuld not put the .eps extensions to figures, to make it easier
to import the same files with a pdf, jpg, png,... extensions.
