Sorry I wouldn't know how to help. For me, if I can figure out properly setting up mimic for the characters I like to use I'll create the Poser file that way and then import it into Lightwave with Propack; ready to go. That's what makes the Mimic/Poser combo so valuable to me. To do the lipsynching (and morph targeting) in Max is possible, of course, but alot more work. For what it's worth Propack works well, you just need to plan your shots ahead. Sorry I don't know what to tell you.
