You can add your cv.cls files in whichever directory was created on your installation and run texhash.
The installation could automatically install classes like cv, hollywood, broadway, and lyxchess -- I never thought of it.
Note that the package 'cv' that could be installed by teTeX or other LaTeX distributions is not the same as the one LyX is searching for while reconfiguration. LyX's cv-class was written by Jean-Marc Lasgouttes, but the official cv (official because it was the first on www.CTAN.org) was written by Philipp Maier.
To use LyX's cv, copy the file cv.cls from lyx/share/lyx/tex to a teTeX directory, refresh teTeX file database and then reconfigure LyX.
Mr. Lasgouttes should prepare his package with another name for CTAN to avoid problems.
For further information: There is a new LaTeX-package named europecv, that implements the guidelines of the european community for writing curriculum vitaes.
