You can still print via HTML (of course the quality may be a problem). Under Linux, TeXLive, previewers, and ImageMagick are expected to be present for normal operation. They are installed by default together with LyX but no strict requirements: Recommends: texlive-latex-recommended, texlive-latex-extra, texlive-science, texlive-generic-recommended, texlive-generic-extra, texlive-fonts-recommended, preview-latex-style, dvipng, imagemagick, psutils, ghostscript, poppler-utils, fonts-lyx, evince-gtk | pdf-viewer, elyxer | tex4ht | hevea | tth | latex2html So, yes, in case requiring ImageMagick is a problem on the Mac, we need a different fallback converter.
