I use the a0poster.cls LaTeX class, part of texlive, documented in
a0.pdf (German) or a0_eng.pdf (English) toghether with a home-made LyX style
(a0poster.layout, see attachment).
I found some examples of a0poster.cls use (without LyX) on the net and
adapted it with use for LyX. (The result does not longer work, however since
I switched from tetex to texlive and some packages are no longer there or
changed a bit.)
