No, it is just the opposite. These lines add the
$XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR/external/lib to the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH (it is implicitly
assumed that external/lib is always there).

I assume that what is going on is that you have compiled also some
external libraries during xcrysden compilation, which now reside in
external/lib, and probably they are not functioning well. To see which
libraries are loaded run (with original xcrysden script without the
pertinent lines removed) xcrysden as : 

xcrysden -d  

(you will probably need to edit xcrysden script and replace the "ldd"
with "otool -L")

Let me know what happens.
