I suggest to remove this port. Lyx 1.0.3 will unlikely compile with
recent versions of GCC. We better to concentrate on updating the
print/lyx package whose version (1.4.5.1) is far behind the current
version of LyX (1.5.6) that supports 23 languages, according to

     http://www.lyx.org/announce/1_5_6.txt
