I think what maybe I didn't explain well enough is that $Log$ expands to
multiple lines, and CVS takes anything before $Log$ as the language's
comment character. So the suggestions you give end up expanding to things
that are syntax errors, for example:
\newcommand{\cvsver}{$Log$}
expands to:
\newcommand(\cvslog){$Log: Account-Management.lyx,v $
\newcommand(\cvslog){Revision 1.8 2002/09/24 16:23:31 dclark
\newcommand(\cvslog){Trying to get CVS Log tag to work
\newcommand(\cvslog){}
Which is why this problem seems to be somewhat difficult.

Right. You could try using this instead:
\newcommand{\cvsver}{\$$Log$\$}
\cvsver
\cvsver will the print the CVS version string where ever you insert it. It
will be displayed actually in math mode, so it's in italic. I hope it
doesn't matter.
You could also use:
\newcommand{\cvsver}{$Log$}
\cvsver
which will print the CVS version string without $-characters.

Yes, it is.
