if you want different textures you'll need 5 different objects... you can just use plains for that
you textures will have to match very well, otherwise you'll have problems with that
you might cut some panorama-photo in 4 parts
if its not possible to make these corners unvisible you might better use a box with filleted (=rounded) edges (which is cut into multiple parts as well)

If you wanted it round, couldn't you use a sky sphere?

you can indeed use that but that's heavier... you can make skyboxes without being able to see it is a box (like in CS)

turn off the shading of the skybox and so it is not affected by light, then you're all set

OK, you just need to find the right texture so its seemless at the corners. To turn off the shading, look into the SET OBJECT command, and toggle the AMBIENT LIGHT option.
