It's quite easy to install LyX on an OS X machine, albeit a bit time-consuming to install everything you need (but once it's done, it's done). The Lyx/Mac page on the LyX wiki should give you all the info and instructions you need: http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/LyX/Mac I recommend Gerben Wierda's TeX i-Installer (rather than fink) for installing TeX and the necessary support applications -- follow the link on the Wiki page. I also recommend using TeXShop as a previewer -- follow the link on the Wiki page to find it, and then follow the instructions for configuring LyX to use TeXShop under the Previewers section of the Wiki page.
