[Christopher Menzel]

MacTeX is not itself an application. It is a package that installs the TeX binaries and configuration files, none of which will show up in your Applications directory. (They are mostly in /Library/TeX.) LyX should know where they are and call them (with no input from you) when you try to view or export a document. Try creating and viewing a simple document in LyX.
