Probably none.  DC published the complete V For Vendetta after the Dark Knight Returns, including the last four issues that had never been published before.  It's possible Miller saw some of the early strips in Warrior magazine when Moore was a relative unknown, but he had been working on DKR for years before it was finally published in 1986, so I don't think there's any connection.  Miller has cited the Dirty Harry film Sudden Impact from 1983 as the direct inspiration for the book.  If anything, Moore may have been influenced somewhat by Miller's run on Daredevil, which was far more in acclaim at that point in comics history.
