By default LyX will pick up the distribution whose binary directory is listed (first) in your PATH environment variable. You can override this in LyX (works for me, anyway) by going to LyX -> Preferences -> Paths. In the "PATH prefix:" field make the directory containing the binaries of the distribution of your choice the first entry in the list, e.g., "/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-darwin" or "/usr/local/gwTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin-current". Be sure it is separated from the following entry by a colon.
Would something like this apply to MiKTex 2.6 and MiKTeX 2.7 (beta) together on an XP machine. MiKTeX 2.7 has XeTeX, with which I'm interested in experimenting, but not at the expense of causing problems with LyX.
