Yes, you can do this, of course.
And I have this on my ToDo list already.

But it's a little bit more than simply reporting an error:
1) the spell checker shouldn't be enabled when not functional
  - if no dictionaries are found
2) the spell checker may be functional, but not for the languages used in 
document
  - obviously it shouldn't report success on spell check then.
  An warning message would be appropriate.

Alternatively, if no dictionaries are found, we could have a dialog box that prompts the user to launch a module that downloads and installs the dictionaries of choice. Probably this is lot more work than simply bundling a few dictionaries at the beginning and allow the user to install or extract dictionary files in to some specified directory where the spell checker engine can find and load those ones chosen by the user in the spell checker options in Lyx.
