What do you mean by "overviews"?

Do you want a reference map like a small zoomed out version of your map? 
This can be done with OpenLayers or in Mapserver using:
http://mapserver.org/mapfile/reference.html

If you are referring to raster image overviews, Then yes maperver will 
read these of you already have them defined. look at gdaladdo for a 
command that will create overviews in your rasters. You do not have to 
do anything special in mapserver to use them.
