There is a TSIB to repair this condition by replacing the VVTi cam gears. Go give your local Lexus dealer a visit

What year IS's does this issue effect? 06? 07? 08? I haven't noticed this noise, but I am going to start listening more closely for it at start up.

I had the start up rattle for a few months last winter 06-07, I even had it scheduled to get fixed. Well, it went away and hasen't happened for a year (fingers crossed).

No rattle @ all 2day !?
I've started my IS @ least 12 times and no rattle. I'm 2 days over due on my oil change, I wonder if old oil is a symptom.

No. If your VIN falls in the affected range, and you've heard the noise, then you need the fix. It's that simple.
