Usually people do this the other way around - morph V4 and expect the shirt to follow. It's an effect some people call 'superconforming'.
It you're doing it the standard way, then both meshes need the same morph (if your shirt doesn't have the morph you want, you could try to add it with Wardrtobe Wizard, which is built in to P8, or with Dimension 3D's Morphing Clothes, available here on Renterosity - http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?ViewProduct=64629&vendor=288865 )
You'd load your V4, apply the morph and make sure V4 is currently selected when you load the shirt. The shirt picks up the morph from V4 when it's loaded; you can then conform it as normal.
Note that V4 must be the currently selected figure when you load the clothing for this to work. If you want to load a shirt and pants, for instance, select V4, load the shirt, conform it. Then slect V4 again, load the pants, conform them - don't leave the shirt as your selected figure when you load the pants.
This is how clothing conforms to V4 Elite shapes, Girl 4 and A4, for example (all the new generation of DAZ women are morphs of V4, not new models - it makes sharing clthing and textures between them as easy as pie - especially if you have Morphing Clothes).
However, for this to work in reverse (load clothing, apply morph, load V4 and have her pick up the morph), I think the morph channel would need to be built into V4's CR2. This is not the case by default - mosr of V4's morphs are injections you apply after loading the mesh.
You can apply them and resave V4 to your library very easily, though. Simply load V4, inject the morphs you want in her permanently, and resave her to your library under a different name (V4 Fully Loaded, perhaps).
Theoretically, if you have the shirt with appropriate morph applied selected, then load V4 Fully Loaded, V4 should pick up and apply the morph.
I say theoreticalt because I've never tried doing it this way round, and don't currently have time to test the concept. I may get a chance this evening.
