Don't know if it's a Lion problem, but I think it crops up when one first installs the boost port and then LyX. Please find attached patches that attempt to address the issue. In short, building against the boost makes things work again. Since my C++ is poor, I have little hope of debugging the "src/support/environment.cpp" file. Perhaps someone can explain why such simple code fails.

The Portfile patch.

Made the change and committed in r84707. Let me know if anything breaks!
