The mapfile is where you need to concentrate first.
You put together a regular LAYER section in the Mapfile, but you'll use
a line like this to define the call to postgis:
DATA "wkb_geometry from <some SQL stuff>"
I've got some better examples, but the MapServer site has some info on
this here:
http://mapserver.org/mapfile/layer.html
Look at the DATA tag in that page
There's more detail here:
