Yup.  I'm using MapServer as a WMS/WFS.  MapServer is partly connecting
using the DescribeFeatureType request, which basically is the same as a
\d <tablename> in psql.  So if this was failing too, I'd be looking
deeper into connection issues.

Yes, I have TCP/IP connections enabled, and am allowing local access
(the DB is on the same box as MapServer).
