I've got it working.  FreeBSD already has a libforms.* that isn't the one 
that Lyx uses, what Lyx uses FreeBSD installs as libxforms.*  

I renamed libforms.* to something else, moved libxforms.* to libforms, 
and it went just fine (with ver 0.8.4, I think).  With that version at 
least, you do need to specify the root directory on the configure command 
line.
