Upon further review, the answer to this should be no.  I've looked at the 
Commands and Utilities required for the Base Core Specification

http://dev.linux-foundation.org/betaspecs/booksets/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/toccommand.html

and it includes several programs that we purposely do not include in LFS.  
These 
include, sendmail, lpr, cpio, crontab, at, install_initd, and remove_initd. 
There is also an implied requirement for either rpm or dpkg.

Clearly, the responsibility for making an LFS installation LSB compliant lies 
in 
the area of BLFS.  I do think a page in LFS with an introduction to LSB would 
be 
appropriate, but the details of getting even base specification compliance 
exceed what we do in LFS.
