There are a few ways:

1- If you have an application running with the 'mapserv' CGI, then you
can look at the HTML source of a page produced by MapServer and at the
top you'll find a HTML comment with the version information.  This works
with any version of MapServer back to at least 3.3 and probably even
older versions. 
e.g. 
<!-- MapServer version 3.6.2 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG
OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=TTF SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER
SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR
INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE -->

2- Starting around version 3.4, you can execute "mapserv -v" at a
command prompt and get the equivalent of #1 above.

3- If using PHP MapScript then you can call ms_getVersion()
   With Perl or other MapScript, it should be msGetVersion()
