Is there any reason to keep a 2.3.x version? I'd rather have not have 2 versions to maintain.

No good reason to keep 2.3.x in my opinion.

It is not a bad idea in general to update a port to a final maintenance release of a series before updating to the next major series.

Well this might be an issue - I wish they'd gone all out for Qt6

LyX can be built against Qt6 toolkit via --enable-qt6, though this is still considered experimental. Meanwhile Qt5 (the default) remain supported.

Summary: Upgrade LyX to 2.3.8 or 2.4.0 → Upgrade LyX to 2.4.x branch

I updated to 2.3.8. The time I checked the 2.4 didn't build.

In 0230c9fee0eab748b18fc7d79f0e49f8fe006918/macports-ports (master):

LyX: update to 2.3.8 (​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/26079)

This is the last version in 2.3.x. In 2.4 there are a lot of changes
that are not trival to get it to build ATM.
