No, MapServer doesn't cache WMS GetMap responses, but you could likely
use a regular Web caching proxy to do that. For instance, I have heard
of people using Squid as a caching proxy for regular website in the
past.

Note that the order of parameters in a WMS GetMap request may vary
depending on the client that generates the request, and this means that
two requests for the same map, but in which the GetMap parameters are in
a different order, may not be detected as being identical by a web
proxy. However, multiple requests coming from the same client (e.g. all
requests from gvSIG) should all use the same ordering and all be cached
efficiently by a proxy.
