The following should work (I think), though I'm not sure it's easier 
than writing an external script:

 1. Copy beamer.layout to a new file (for the sake of argument,
    "beamer-handout.layout") and put it in your local layout directory.
    Edit it to contain the handout option in the ClassOptions section.
 2. Reconfigure LyX, so that it knows about the layout.
 3. Bind some unused keyboard combination to the command
    'textclass-apply beamer-handout'. You might want to bind a second
    combination to 'textclass-apply beamer' so that you can toggle back
    and forth at will.
 4. After creating a presentation (in either format), export it the
    usual way, whack the right key combo to switch to the other format,
    and export again.
