I think it's a problem with your installation, because I haven't had any
problems saving a file as .eps from within GIMP.
(I'm using GIMP 1.2 on RedHat 7.1, however. YMMV)

There is also the Insert->External Material command, which uses
external filters to put other types of files into your document,
and one of the ones is "Rasterimage", which you could use to put
a jpg file there.
However, I suspect that if your GIMP doesn't know about .eps files,
then this won't work for you either, because the filter uses GIMP
and ImageMagick... and I wouldn't be surprised if your problem is
with either a lack of a full GIMP, or a lack of a full ImageMagick.
The other disadvantage is that (so far as I can tell) if you use
an external image file, you can't do any transformations on it,
such as scaling it to the width of the page, like you can do with .eps
files. And of course, you can't see it inside LyX either, only when you
view the result.
