Short answer is yes, and there are lots of discussions about this in the 
list archives including code examples for various way to achieve this.

Try a Google search for:
   mapserver create dynamic layer database site:umn.edu"

No MapServer doesn't draw charts out of the box.  But of course using 
MapScript you could code something that would produce the charts and 
paste them on the map.
