Couple of options.

1)      You can create a layer that displays that text in the middle of the map 
and have it turn on below a certain scale. If doing tiling w/meta-tiling you'd 
want draw the text the same number of times as you have meta-tiles. That would 
take some mucking about but it's doable.

2)      There's a little used parameter in the WEB section called 
MINTEMPATE/MAXTEMPLATE. MapServer will redirect to the URL specified depending 
on scale. It's been ages since I used it but in theory you could reference an 
image with the necessary text by URL.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Map Not Available at This Scale Image

Hi list,

I have a number of layers that are on or off depending on the zoom level and 
some of those layers do not have coverage in certain areas. The question is, is 
there a way to display a map image saying something along the lines of, "Map 
not available at this level"?

I think I have read somewhere that it can be done in a round about way but I 
cannot find any information after having a good internet trawl.

Many thanks.

Regards,

Donald
