Jachym / Andrea,

MapServer supports scaling non-8bit data to 8bit on the fly
(see the SCALE processing option in the Raster howto) or
to use classification on non-8bit images.

Currently MapServer does not automatically create classes
based on color rules established in grass, so you need to
manually recreate the classes in the layer definition in the
mapfile.

I would suggest reviewing the Raster howto.
