If your exported text file is in applemac encoding then it comes from an
invalid LyX file, since LyX files cannot be encoded in applemac encoding.
LyX simply passes most characters 1:1 to the .tex file.
You can easily convert your .lyx file from applemac to latin1 (e.g. with
recode or iconv), and then everything will be perfect.
Does by any chance your LyX file come from tex2lyx? I ask because tex2lyx
doe not know anything about encodings, and will happily create invalid LyX
files.

There will be a way in 1.5 for most characters, but there is no such way in
1.4.
