There is no automatic way that I know of. Fortunately, it seems that
his code just takes the article class and changes font sizes and
margins (which are not important for LyX). So as a first step, you can
copy article.layout as a0poster.layout and change the first lines to
read:

#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
#  \DeclareLaTeXClass{A0 Poster}

Then run Option-Reconfigure from inside LyX, restart LyX, and it
should work. A few more tweaks could be necessary for correct support,
but most of it should be there.
