Hi Nate,

You will want to specify your possible output formats in your mapfile:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc44/mapfile-reference.html#outputformat

If you are then using CGI mapserver, you will want to specify the output 
format via the "format" CGI variable.  If you are using mapscript, you 
will use something like "selectOutputFormat"

HTH,
