So I created ~/.lyx/external_templates and added this content:

Template LHS
     GuiName "LHS: $$AbsOrRelPathParent$$Basename"
     HelpText
         Including Literate Haskell
     HelpTextEnd
     InputFormat lhs
     FileFilter "*.lhs"
     AutomaticProduction true
     Format LHS
         Product "\\input{$$AbsOrRelPathMaster$$Basename.tex_t}"
         UpdateFormat lhs
         UpdateResult "$$AbsPath$$Basename.tex"
         ReferencedFile lhs "$$AbsPath$$Basename.tex"
     FormatEnd
TemplateEnd

Next, I reconfigured LyX and restarted it.
Unfortunately, it still doesn't show my template.
Have I misplaced the external_templates file?

The location is wrong for Mac. I think it's something like ~/Application Support/LyX 1.6/external_templates. If you find your lyxrc.defaults file, then that is the right directory.
