FWIW, I have been running LyX 2.0.1 on Lion for a month or more now without problems.
Perhaps it is something else in your software stack causing the problem (e.g. your LaTeX installation)? I am using MacPorts for my LaTeX distribution, so I cannot comment on MacTex compatibility, but this indicates that it should work: http://roaringapps.com/app:1049 Is it crashing on LyX launch or when you compile a document?
