how to configure macports Lyx

[Dan Ports]

Will respond to your other questions later (because I might change the
answers in the meantime :-) but thought I'd answer this one first...

By default, the texlive port (+medium) does not install a full
installation of TeX Live, unlike MacTeX. This is because a full
installation is large and we'd like to support installing only the
needed components.

You can get a list of other available texlive ports with
'port list texlive-* and not installed' and install the ones you need.
texlive-publishers may be the one you're looking for in this case. If
you prefer, you can install the 'texlive' metaport with the +full
variant to get everything. 

For completeness, I should point out that users who really want to
cherry-pick the parts of texlive they install can also install 'texlive
+basic' or +minimal or even forgo the texlive metaport entirely, and
just install the ports they want.

Sounds like I should add a note to the metaport with this info.
