Virtually impossible, definitely unusable.  Anything saved from Poser to 
.obj will import very badly into Wings.  Wings does its best to guess at 
  which edges are adjacent and it does remarkable well, but the results 
are really not usable.

So, for instance, if you had some idea, like I did, of making general 
figure "cages" in Wings, importing into Poser for posing, then back into 
Wings for further refinement, it is not really practical.

I have gotten passably good at importing back and forth between Wings 
and Uvmapper while keeping the uv's intact though.  This lests me do uv 
manipulations in Uvmapper at the cage level then applying them to the 
smoothed result.
