I have just succeeded in installing the Lucida fonts on my iBook. In
my experience it was really pretty straightforward.

1) Unpack the fonts into the local texmf directory. Since I only
wanted to install them for my personal use, I unpacked them in the
subdirectory texmf of my home directory. (I must admit I really don't
know much about this, but I guess at least tetex looks there - the
LaTeX I have on this computer is the tetex port from Darwin ports.)

2) run mktexlsr. It just worked.

3) When I then tested the installation by trying to compile the Lucida
sample file myself, I got an error message from the line
\DeclareEncodingSubset{TS1}{hlh}{1}  % including \oldstylenums
which left me wondering for a moment, but then it occurred to me that
the textcomp.sty file on my computer was outdated and I had to get a
newer version. So I did that.

4) It seems to just work.
