This has been recently discussed on the developers list, and I do not think there was a consensus on this point. There is not much point in distributing a free software that people cannot build themselves without buying a commercial packages.
May I say: if I've understood his point, I really don't think this ("not much point in distributing ...") is an issue. Ruurd's port means that people don't have to build lyx for themselves, and that, to many MSWindows users, is precisely the attraction of the port. Otherwise, one could presumably just install cygwin and build against the X11 system (as one can do, eg with TeXMacs, which works fine).
