I use xFig 3.2.8 and would like to use it for a diagram to be inserted
as a graphic in a lyx document. Some blocks in the diagram use greek
symbols. Has somebody used xFig in such a way that LaTeX takes over the
text of the diagram? An example figure would be great.

It is a LyX issue. xfig (or any other program) does not know (and should not
need to know) about the internals of file inclusion of LyX.
