What kind of answer do you expect after your introduction? Yup...that's kinda how I felt... You can do it and it is pretty easy. Include each page as a picture, and scale it appropriately. You might want to covnert the pics to eps type 2 files as well.

Conversion will be no problem. Wondering, though: does LaTeX have a command (that I could pass through LyX) to scale the image to fill the page or should I attempt to calculate the exact size on a per-page basis?
Re: Including Scanned Images of Pages in the Appendix
When I did this, I scanned each page to a whole A4 page, and then scaled them down by about 90% or so. Enough so that I could see the headers and the like. But you can also scale to the page width in Lyx, which sounds like what you want. Of course, that will preserve the aspect ratio to.
