Two remaks here
 - I suppose that it's rather \^{} than  \^{ }...
 - if you really need math and complicated drawings in xfig, why not
use the combined ps/latex export ? You can have the complicated parts
in eps and the remaining as latex, so you may have math with the special flag.
The other way would be to import the math parts from LyX as eps objects in xfig, and
export from xfig as eps, but that solution brings up a lot of files
(one for each formula). On the other side, the idea of a bank of formulas
in .eps form is not so bad, as some ot them are frequently used
(and sharable among a team as well).
