I'm working on an animation where certain clothes appear on the figure. It works fine for clothes that don't involve any transmaps...I can just start the clothes with the transparancy max set at 100%, then slowly decrease it until the clothes item appears. My problem is with clothes that already have a transmap with them, like most lingerie...I can't make them totally disappear since the transparancy is already set at 100% for them to work. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might be able to accomplish this "appearing" with transmapped clothes?

sound like a keyframe with transp values up in your timeline.

Unfortunately, I can't think of any way to accomplish this from within Poser. If you have a nonlinear video editing utility, you could make two separate animations (one with the clothing, and one without), and then do a transition from one animation to the other.

If I understand correctly, you should be able to do this by creating an edited series of transmaps, with each successive map being slightly lighter than the previous map.... Working from black on white to gray on white toward white on white, with total transparency. I think you would need to render as a series of stills, changing the trans map for each frame. Not sure whether the Pro Pack's animated materials would help simplify the rendering process....
