Sure, you can do this with Mapserver. The difficulty lies more in pre-processing the data, than in having Mapserver display it.
- Step 1: Get some elevation data. - Step 2: Create a hillshade layer. (I use rel.py with gdal to do this, but you can do it with something else.) - Step 3: Create a hypsometric tint layer of your elevation data. (Note: You can use Mapserver styles to directly read the DEM and style the elevation zones.) - Step 4: Combine the 2 layers with some transparency and you can get something that looks like these - http://lagerratrobe.blogspot.com/2008/10/continuous-vs-discreet-color-elevation.html . Contact me off-list if you want more info.
