To be honest, I don't know. That depends on which method MapServer uses
to access PostGIS. As I never used MapServer, I have no idea.

When using the JDBC classes, replacing the postgis.jar in the classpath
should be enough. Equally, any other toolkit should provide its update,
with noch changes to mapserver itsself.

When using OpenGIS methods (asText() or asBinary() etc.), no changes
should be necessary.

When using PostGIS specific, like "SELECT geom FROM table;" then
MapServer will need a new HexWKB parser or be changed to use OpenGIS
methods or the new asEWKT() PostGIS specific methods.
