Thanks Jean, the list of locations jolted my brain into discovering a simple solution. Here's how to make LyX work with a teTeX distribution installed by Darwinports (assuming you don't have Fink installed as well):

ln -s /opt/local /sw

Then Edit > Reconfigure, and away you go!

Currently, LyX/Mac automatically searches in these locations:
  /sw/bin
  /usr/local/bin
  /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current

We could hardcode more entries, but this is beginning to look like a
bit too much entries...
