It's not that hard compiling qt2 with g++2, using Ronald James' excellent instructions. So, one way to make a lyx-qt package feasible without disturbing anyone's existing installation is to *add* a pair of packages called something like qt2-g++2 and qt2-shlibs-g++2, and then have the lyx-qt package depend on *those* instead of the regular qt2 packages. Of course, I'm not on the fink team and don't know how to make fink packages, so someone else would have to do this, but I don't think it would be that hard.
