Yes, see:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/ogr_howto/#tileindex-with-ogr

Note that in the case of TAB files, an alternative to tile indexing is 
to use seamless tab files (i.e. create a seamless table in MapInfo with 
all your files and point to it in your layer's CONNECTION string). 
MapServer/OGR handle seamless tab files transparently.
