Adam, 

I believe you can add the line:

  CONFIG "MS_NONSQUARE" "YES"

in the map section to enable non-square pixel support in traditional mapserver.
You likely need proper coordinate system support on all the layers though, as 
this will force processing through the reprojection interface (don't ask why!). 

Best regards,
