Here is an update.

Following the suggestions of Yadgar and Janet, I changed the dynamic 
settings in Poser. I made hair longer and it falls more naturally now, 
especially as I checked on the collision detection. I used a coarser mesh 
for the beardcap and, indeed as I suspected, the beard is sparser (with the 
same hair settings). I made it stiffer than the hair too. For both, I used a 
simple gradient y texture, uv mapped cylindrically along y in Poseray.

Comment 1: there is an issue with the root to hair transition. I probably 
have to play with the pull down and the root stiffness settings...

Comment 2: I deliberately used a fairly wide ribbon setting. I would like to 
see if I can get an image_map uv mapped on them...
