Thanks to Christopher Menzel, too, who suggested almost exactly the same solution, while my previous email was sitting in my outbox waiting for me to go online.

Thanks Jean, the list of locations jolted my brain into discovering a simple solution. Here's how to make LyX work with a teTeX distribution installed by Darwinports (assuming you don't have Fink installed as well):

ln -s /opt/local /sw

Then Edit > Reconfigure, and away you go!

Currently, LyX/Mac automatically searches in these locations:
  /sw/bin
  /usr/local/bin
  /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current

We could hardcode more entries, but this is beginning to look like a
bit too much entries...
