heyas; if the hose has an ik chain.... when you turn ik on, the endpoint of the ik chain (the mouthpiece) can be set to have a different parent. usually when ik is turned on, the parent changes to the universe (or the ground, i forget which). you can use poser 4's heirarchy to drag it around to a new parent (the guy's head). there's also a way to specify in the cr2 what the inky parent and non inky parent are. (that is, what the parent will be when ik is on, and what the parent usually is.) :)
