Jon,

It is possible to download the MrSID SDK from Lizardtech
and then build a GDAL using it, and then build MapServer
using that GDAL.  But that is a somewhat complex process.
If you don't particularly need to serve directly from the MrSID
files, I would suggest just converting to GeoTIFF and using
that.  Most existing binaries should support GeoTIFF directly.

Best regards,
