It is not possible currently to directly export texinfo. Doesn't
DocBook help?

The above urls discusses some of these complex conversion issues
which may be helpful, depending on the depth of your interest.
Nick Thomas graciously contributed this recent conversion tool,

LyX->Latex->./ConvTex foofile->produces .sxw OpenOffice file.
Import to OpenOffice
I've also seen an OpenOffice export option from LyX.
OpenOffice has the option to Save As in DocBook [.xml] format.
Then one could use, DocBook-to-Texinfo Converter
http://docbook2x.sourceforge.net/
The fidelity of conversion/translation deteriorates with each
additional step, so the output always needs to be proofread.

The above post is sort of old. I don't know to what extent the
DocBook implementation features have been improved in LyX1.4.x
as I haven't seen a recent post about its success. I think
Matej Cepl has a strong interest in this area. Perhaps ask
him about tested encouraging advice?
