Actually, it's even easier:
Create a math inset: Insert->Math->Display formula
Type:
B=\cases<space>1<right arrow>\textrm<space>if <Insert->Math->Inline
formula>x>0<right arrow><right arrow><cntl-enter><down arrow><left
arrow>0<right arrow>\textrm<space>if <Insert->Math->Inline formula>x=0<Esc>
Looks horrible, but really it isn't!
