I do :-)
However, there're currently a couple of bugs in our (and Qt/WinFree's) font
loading code which prevent lyx from firing up.

You should use CVS to grab the lyx and Qt/WinFree repositories. See
http://www.lyx.org/devel/cvs.php
http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/qt3-win32/index.php
How you proceed thereafter depends on which compiler you want to use. LyX
is known to work with both MSVC (can't help you there) and with MinGW. If
you go with the latter, then be prepared for really *long* compile times.
About 1 hour to compile Qt/WinFree and 2 hours to subsequently compile LyX
on this 2.7GHz machine...
