Disclaimer: I am no lighting expert but I found a way that works for me.
With the latest versions of Poser - even from Poser 6 - you don't need a lot of lights to get a well lit render. Outdoor lights are arguably the easiest to achieve because, in theory, you only have one light source. That's to say, the sun.
It's never that simple in Poser, though. In my case I have to use IBL because that's the best option available in P6. Even so, it's simple enough to use. I have one main light for the sun, brightness set at around 55% and one IBL with an appropriate image attached to it. That one is set at around 45%. Just position the main light where you think the sun would be and away you go.
They're both Infinite lights, btw. Shadows are set to Raytraced at 90% strength.
