Thought of something else: if you're running a local copy of Lynx
-- on your own machine, not from a shell -- you could also define
your PDF reader as a downloader in lynx.cfg.  It would then show
up as an option in the download menu.

Your .mailcap file might be an even simpler way to go; defining
the reader as a viewer for .pdf.  I'm not sure if these files
are supported by MacLynx at all so I haven't messed with them
much, and am not too clear on how mailcap definitions are formed.
Sorry.
