A quick look into the source (mappostgis.c) , I dont see anything 
similar. However, when it's building the where clause of the sql, it 
tacks on the layer->filter.string if it exists.

If you are using mapscript, you can dynamically update the layer at 
runtime to set the filter, per request (I'm doing this).  You may also 
be able to use the CGI request params (which I have not done, but recall 
seeing in the mailing list before).  So the layer might look like:

LAYER
	...
	FILTER $MYFILTER$
	...
END


Huge guess at the syntax there.
