I use the following script to convert .fig to .eps directly:
#!/bin/sh
# usage: fig2tex foo.fig foo.tex
#!/bin/sh
# usage: fig2eps foo.fig foo.eps
TMPDIR=/tmp
BASE=fig2epstmp_$$
PSNAME=fig2epstmp_content_$$.ps
echo "
\\documentclass{article}
\\usepackage{epsfig}
\\usepackage{color}
\\pagestyle{empty}
\\begin{filecontents}{$PSNAME}
`fig2dev -L pstex $1`
\\end{filecontents}
\\begin{document}
\\begin{center}
`fig2dev -L pstex_t -p $PSNAME $1`
\\end{center}
\\end{document}
" > $TMPDIR/$BASE.tex
(
cd $TMPDIR ;
latex $BASE.tex ;
# sometimes empty pages at the beginning are produced. Just use the last
# one.
dvips -f $BASE.dvi | psselect _1 > $BASE.tmpeps
rm -f $BASE.tex $BASE.log $BASE.dvi $BASE.aux $PSNAME

#mv $TMPDIR/$BASE.tmpeps $2
eps2eps -- $TMPDIR/$BASE.tmpeps $2
rm $TMPDIR/$BASE.tmpeps
Actually, I thought this was already part of LyX but this seemingly never
got included.
