Is LyX from macports.org workable?

I have always downloaded LyX for Mac from lyx.org but I’m thinking of trying to install from macports.org. LyX there seems to be well-maintained. 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.
