Here is my setup. This works with the TeXLive 2004 installation using  
Gerben's distribution and, for example,

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[expert,altbullet,lucidasmallscale]{lucidabr}


I have the following in

~/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/yandy/lubright/

lbd.pfb
lbdi.pfb
lbdsc.pfb
lbi.pfb
lbr.pfb
lbrsc.pfb
lbsl.pfb

~/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/yandy/lucida/

lbc.pfb
lbh.pfb
lbki.pfb
lbkr.pfb
lbl.pfb
lbtb.pfb
lbtbo.pfb
lbto.pfb
lbtr.pfb

~/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/yandy/lucidfax/

lfd.pfb
lfdi.pfb
lfi.pfb
lfr.pfb

~/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/yandy/lucsans/

lsb.pfb
lsbi.pfb
lsd.pfb
lsdi.pfb
lsi.pfb
lsr.pfb
lstb.pfb
lstbo.pfb
lsto.pfb
lstr.pfb

~/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/yandy/lumath/

lbma.pfb
lbmad.pfb
lbmd.pfb
lbmdi.pfb
lbmdo.pfb
lbme.pfb
lbmi.pfb
lbmo.pfb
lbmr.pfb
lbms.pfb
lbmsd.pfb
