I wonder if there would be any issues given that I have used the lyx.org version in the past. Would the macports version find my current preferences file? I will be installing macports from scratch on an Apple Silicon machine.

Hi Jerry,

I don't think we are in charge of macports so I'm not sure there's much
we can say (unless anyone on this list happens to have tested macports
and can give their personal experience as a data point). You might want
to talk to the maintainer, which is listed here:
