Not answering your question directly, but have you tried the Jaunty package(s)? The lyx and lyx-common packages worked immediately for me in Intrepid, so you might have some luck.
Otherwise, I recommend looking into a package-building package called pbuilder. It's by far the best way to backport packages as it builds in a chroot so it doesn't fill your machine up with build-depends. Good luck. Cam.
