I've seen two "gotchas":
1- When using PostGIS layers the older mapfile generator created an 
empty FILTER line. This would cause a query error when retrieving the 
PostGIS layer. (The query came out: "SELECT the_geom FROM layer WHERE " 
with nothing after the WHERE).  Just comment out the FILTER line.
2- Layers are added to the mapfile in the same order that they appear in 
the QGIS table of contents. In QGIS the higher layers display  "on top" 
of the lower ones. However in the mapfile, the lower layers in the 
mapfile display on top. So you probably will have to reverse the order 
of the LAYER sections in the mapfile.
