You can plug any "constant" native Lightwave nodes, for example the Scalar one, into the render target nodes inputs to animate any parameter.

If you're used to working with lightwave lights (suns) ie: looking 'through' the light and positioning/keyframing interactively you can use a Light Info node connected to the Sun Direction. Minor niggle every time you reposition your sun in LW you need to frame-step to see it update in Octane, fast when you get used to it tho..
