I was thinking about that some time ago too. MapServer does not provide
a way to do this. One thing I came up with was a mapscript application
that would use a graphics library to create the charts (there are
several ones for php, have a look at freshmeat.net) as .png images, then
use mapscript to change the symbol definitions for layers on the fly,
using the newly generated images.

I do not expect this solution to be very fast though, tbh.
