If you want to experiment, you should try using the version in the 
sandbox (http://svn.osgeo.org/mapserver/sandbox/mapserver6/), instead of 
trunk. This sandbox  will eventually be merged to trunk Ii uses the 
cairo library for the pdf output From what I can see, It seems to be in 
a good shape. Note that the imagetype to use is pdf.
You can see an example of a pdf generated at
