For only one package i wouldn't change sources.list but simply download the package (i.E. via http://packages.debian.org/unstable/text/lyx and choosing an appropriate mirror). But lyx in sid (unstable) depends on a newer Version of libc6 (2.2.3 in sid vs. 2.1.3 in potato). This might cause a lot of updates so you'd end up in a quite 'sid'ded system. I would prefer compiling from source (either via 'apt-get source', or - as I did - from the original source to /usr/local[1]), which went very smooth for me. You may need some lib[Something]-dev packages although as well as the usual compilers, autotools etc. If you already have installed development tools compiling from source might be the easier way but YMMV.
