If you look at
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/faq/copyright-layer
You should be able to use the SYMBOL keywork of the CLASS definition to insert your compass.
One problem though, if your images are not of a known size you can't relablily place labels or symbols except in the upper left corner of the image.

However, you can't use a picture for that as far as I know ... but if you could make/find a font with a compass glyph, you should be able to insert that.

To load shapefiles into PostGIS you use the shp2pgsql utility distributed with PostGIS:
