Bart,

You are correct that MapServer does not currently support rasters
with only GCP georeferencing.

As Vincent suggested, you can use gdalwarp to rectify the image
and produce something that can be used in mapserver.   You could
add a .tfw file since you clearly have an affine transformation for your
two control points.
