If you are looking for free gis data start with google "free gis data"
I think you may want to look at OpenLayers where you can create an 
application that uses Google maps or OSM services as a base map and then 
all you to overlay other data layers on top of that. Look at 
http://openlayers.com/

If you really are asking how to pull OSM or Google into mapserver, 
instead of OpenLayers, then you will need to extract the OSM data into 
data layers and create a mapfile to render it in mapserver OR find an 
existing WMS service that you can pull OSM images into mapserver. You 
can not do this with Google it violates their TOS.
