I just got it compiled and running.

There are some rough edges:

1) xforms is required but xforms installs a library
   /usr/lib/libforms.a and /usr/lib/libforms.so.0.7
   
2) I copied forms.h from the xforms/FORMS/ directory into
   the lyx build directory and added a -I./ to the CPPFLAGS in
   the Makefile

3) I moved /usr/lib/libforms.so.3.0  libforms.so.3.0.old
   and libforms.a to libforms.a.old and then installed
   XFORM. 

   The latter has to be solved for FreeBSD since we have the
   (alphanumerical) libforms and the libxforms.

   I wonder why they didn't call it libxforms.
