as far as I understand LyX, it uses a chain of converters to convert
incompatible graphic formats. Under Linux, eps files can be converted to a
usable format. In contrast, it seems that this is not possible under Mac, or
the appropriate converters are not installed.
EPS -> PDF conversion is handled by ps2pdf
So I would assume if you can install this and reconfigure LyX, it should
work.
