On Mac OS you have to type the full path. But the path you gave is weird. Are 
you sure?

This is how it works for me (on 10.8.6):

$ /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx --help
Aufruf: lyx [ Befehlszeilenoptionen ] [ name.lyx ... ]
Befehlszeilenoptionen (Groß-/Kleinschreibung beachten):
        -help             Zusammenfassende Hilfshinweise
        -userdir dir      Setzt das Benutzerverzeichnis auf dir
        -sysdir dir       Setzt das Systemverzeichnis auf dir
...
        -e [--export] fmt Exportiert in das Format fmt.
