Hi,

At least uDig 1.2 M9 milestone version does support Google Mercator as
EPSG:900913.  However, there are more alternatives.  QGis and OpenJUMP,
for example. You can also add more supported output projections to your
WEB METADATA and LAYER METADATA sections in the mapfile as a space
limited list and you are not limited to use just that one projection. 

 "wms_srs"    "EPSG:3067 EPSG:2393 EPSG:4326 EPSG 900913"

OpenJUMP gives much better user interface for selecting SRS and output
format than uDig. It does not zoom automatically to WMS layer so open
some vector data in the project first. You can also try Right click -
Zoom to WMS layer but it does not necessarily work because Mapserver is
sending only lat/long bounding box and one projected bounding box to
zoom in.
