I cannot duplicate Viktor's experience. I recently (8.vii.2004) 
installed teTeX on a new MacOS-10.3.x machine with the i-Installer; the 
tex subdirectory is below /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex.  I then 
installed LyX/Mac from the binary package.  LyX/Mac works fine, finds 
the article, book and other classes.  I did not need any special links 
to make this work.

The locations of teTeX binaries are hard-coded into LyX-Mac-1.3.4.  The 
location of the TeX hierarchy is set during the Edit -> Reconfigure 
phase of the installation.  Could Viktor have forgotten that?
