I chatted via e-mail with Ronald Florence about this: it turns out that Qt for Aqua does not use Meta-key shortcuts for things like menus and buttons, whereas the X11 version of Qt *does*. Just today, in fact, I compiled LyX for Qt/X11 on my TiBook and I can *finally* access everything using the keyboard, including menus and dialog box buttons. Thanks for Ronald for his excellent instructions on how to compile LyX/Qt/X11 for MacOS X.
