Yes, I think that's an acceptable workaround.

Much stuff in configure.py only have one alternative, so LyX can
simply check if the program is available. When it comes to viewers, it
could use xdg-open from portland.freedesktop.org which uses the user's
preferred viewer (that's what we do in the Debian package).

I guess the problem is the LaTeX checking stuff. I don't know what to
do about that.
