I had been running MacTex 2009 and Lyx 1.6.8. and using them extensively
for technical documentation and homework assignments.
I upgraded this morning to MacTex 2011 (using the Tex Live Utility to bring
all the packages up to date) and Lyx 2.0.2.
I tried to create a pdf of the UserGuide (located

resulting TeX file in TeXShop. That actually works,
except cross references break ('see section ??' in the resulting pdf). But
the pdf and eps files that are problematic in LyX typeset
in TeXShop.
What am I missing?

LyX automagically typesets words like TeX and LaTeX using the special
logo for those words.
How do I turn this behavior off? There are a couple of places, such as
an instruction to navigate to /Applications/TeX, where I want the
words to appear more like they actually do in the computer interface.

I use LyX on OS X.

The instructions you linked to are out of date in places and incomplete
with reference to dealing with MacTeX.
Put the xetexCV.cls file here:
~/Library/texmf
Reconfigure is under the LyX menu:
LyX -> Reconfigure
When you start your document, point it to your local layout:

There is a distinct difference between /Library (system wide library
directory) and ~/Library (the library directory in your home directory).

If you want to use multi-platform programs, you have to put up with a
certain amount of non-Mac behavior. (As do Windows and Linux users, when
using programs primarily written to run on a different system.)
