the configure script walks your $PATH looking for sgmltools and/or

probably put those in /sw/bin.
If that's the case, you need to add /sw/bin the path used by LyX. On
tiger (sorry, I'm a Mac newbie and haven't dealt with anything else)
you edit ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist. There's a GUI plist editor
available, but the file is just XML text, so you can use your favorite
text editor on it as well.
Actually, if all you want is to add /sw/bin to the path that LyX
uses, you should do it from within LyX itself: LyX > Preferences >
PATH > PATH Prefix. (For LyX/Mac-1.3.6, the default settings already
have /sw/bin there.) If you add something to the PATH setting in
~/.MacOSX/environment.plist, that will apply to *every* OS X
application, which is probably overkill and potentially a security risk.
I'm not that familiar with fink or at all familiar with docbook, so I
can't be more helpful.
