I'm pretty sure khet_tcheba suggested O'Toole for Gabriel when she first read the series.
There's a certain type of guy who can look good dressed as a woman without looking hugely effeminate the rest of the time; I knew one of them in high school. (What? There was a minor hazing thing where he had to be in drag. He looked good.) I imagine Lymond being that way, though I can't detail precise features, as that's something at which I suck mightily.
As for being slight, I also imagine that Lymond would be one of those sorts who knows how to use his strength efficiently, rather than depending entirely on brute force to get something done.
