Any other information on how to make sure Lyx is conifgured to use /opt/local/share/texmf-texlive-dist/tex/latex?

Are you still having problems? If so, can you describe them? I am not really familiar with LyX myself, but would expect that it should be able to find any texlive packages installed. If that's not true, it's something we should fix. Dan -- Dan R. K.

Re: how to configure macports Lyx
revtex at least is available as a separate port (or was quite recently: the texlive port has just been reorganised I think).

Re: how to configure macports Lyx
I just port installed revtex and then ran sudo texhash. Fired up Lyx, and reconfigured, restarted Lyx and RevTex is still stated as unavailable.
