It does look like it's hard to find prebuilt binaries for this older version 
of OS X, so you may have to build it yourself. Any recent version of LAME 
should work. I assume the procedure is straightforward:

1. Open a terminal window so you can do things on the command line:

2. Make a scratch folder, navigate into it, download the LAME source code, 
uncompress/untar it, navigate into the main folder, build and install it:

mkdir ~/tmp
cd ~/tmp
curl -L -O http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/lame/lame/3.99/lame-3.99.5.tar.gz
tar -xzf lame-3.99.5.tar.gz
cd lame-3.99.5
./configure
make
sudo make install

3. See where it went:

which lame
lame -v

If there error messages during the build process, come back here and report 
them on lame-dev. :)
