If we get a lot of problems with users correctly configuring WEBROOT, is it 
possible for Lyceum to discover the correct WebRoot from the URL being used 
during setup ?

The problem likely has to do with your directory architecture. As noted
in the installation guide on the wiki, if you want mysite.com, or in
your case blogs.mysite.com to be the lyceum portal page then you need to
set the document root of the server to be what in your case is
/www/lyceum/src/lyceum (the document root should be the folder that
contains portal.php.)

The problem you describe is likely happening because your 'WEBROOT'
variable should be set to '/lyceum/src/lyceum' if your current document
root is only /www. Anyway, after you fix apache's document root to point
at the right directory, in your wp-config you should set:

MAINDOMAIN to be 'blogs.mysite.com'
SUBDOMAINS to be 'true'
WEBROOT to be ''

Then try reinstalling.
