Hello,

Yes you can setup a MapServer WMS and/or WFS service for a PostGIS
layer. (for example, for WFS just follow the instructions at
http://www.mapserver.org/ogc/wfs_server.html)

If your layer is not a PostGIS layer but just a Postgres table with xy
columns it is also possible (for example, see
https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/wiki/VirtualSpatialData).
