I often find myself of wanting to define a command in a module's

tell LyX that I already defined the command and I don't want the
macro to define it?
Perhaps a different use case is that I might want to display a
built-in LaTeX definition (or one in a package) differently, but I
don't want to redefine it.
No, I don't think that's possible. I've had occasion to want something
similar---e.g., some macro is defined in some package, but LyX does not
handle it natively, and I'd like to see decent display. My usual
strategy is just to define a 'dummy' macro the way you have there and
use that.
Actually, come to think of it, we have all kinds of 'LyX only' definitions in
lib/symbols. That can be modified locally. But those do not seem to take
arguments.
Thanks, Riki.
If I were to implement this "don't define in LaTeX" in LyX, would it be
reasonable to put it in the context menu of the math macro as a toggle?
Yes, that's how I'd do it. It's probably pretty simple, really.
