Actually there already is an (untested and just as undocumented) DXF 
OUTPUTFORMAT, not for the faint at heart. You can try it out if you have a v4 
mapserver or newer cvs code. Do everything as usual, just drop the following 
in your mapfile to generate dxf-s instead of images:

OUTPUTFORMAT
       NAME imagemap
       MIMETYPE "text/plain"
       DRIVER imagemap
       EXTENSION dxf
       FORMATOPTION DXF=ON
