Sure it can. Specify a projection block in the layer definition, same as 
you would with vector data.

GDAL (which you surely have if you're using Mapserver) also includes the 
gdalwarp program, which can reproject the image once and for all, so you 
don't have to do it at runtime within Mapserver.
