Björn,

I am not aware of any way to accomplish this within MapServer.

Potentially you could write an URL request interpreter that would
utilize different mapfiles depending on the coordinate system of the
request, or possible adapt the selected layer based on the coordinate
system.  But this is "front end" and not something MapServer is providing
any specific support for.

Best regards,
