IMHO yes - but I would advice WCS to you. WMS does render "map", where
WCS returns raw data (coverage) to  you.

Some example attached - but please, take it as skeleton. I do not
expect, single line would stay untouched after you start to modify it.

have a look at
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wcs_server
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/tileindex

see the tileindex link above
