Yeah, official support stopped on June 4.

The last update to lyx* was to switch to newer boost libraries.  The 
error that you're seeing suggests that maybe these weren't appropriate 
on 10.6.  I don't recall if I did any separate testing on 10.6 or just 
assumed that the update would work, and if I did do any testing it was 
just a build test without a run-time check.

If you've got an older .deb you can install that via

sudo dpkg -i /path/to/lyx-x11_<version-revision>_<architecture>.deb

To build from an older .info, the safest option is to put the file in 
/sw/fink/10.4/local/main/finkinfo, verify that local/main appears in the 
Trees: line of /sw/etc/fink.conf, and then use

fink install lyx-x11-<version-revision>

to install that version-revision of lyx-x11
