The line in MapServer to show Z_M support is SUPPORTS=POINT_Z_M.

Here's an example that shows WFS output with Z Values:
http://geo.usace.army.mil/cgi-bin/wms/nldwfs?service=wfs&version=1.1.0&requ
est=getfeature&typename=leveesclosurestructureln&maxfeatures=10&outputforma
t=gml3d

Note that this uses a specific outputformat that is an OGR outputformat
with the ows_geomtype in the Layer metadata set to LineString25D.
