If you are using pdflatex, you have to configure it for your page dimensions
(using \pdfpageheiht/width primitives).

Try this

\documentclass[a0,portrait]{a0poster}
\usepackage[applemac]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{calc,palatino}
\usepackage[frenchb]{babel}
\pdfpagewidth\paperwidth
\pdfpageheight\paperheight
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\fontsize{180}{200}\selectfont
\vspace*{\fill}
\begin{center}\bfseries
Je suis un joli Poster
\end{center}
\vfill\vfill
\end{document}
