There's nothing inherent in templates to do this for you but there are options:
1. Use javascript in the template, something like:
<tr>
<td align="right"><b>GIS Date:</b></td>
<script>
var date_jf = '[item name="Date"]';
// process the date into something prettier
var date = ...;
// output the date (zillion ways to do this)
document.write("<td>" + date +"</td>");
</script>
</tr>
2. If you're using a db backend you could format things in your SQL.

Subject: [mapserver-users] working with date formats in identify templates
Hello
I have a date that is in Julian format. I would like to convert that date from
Julian format such as '20140423' to something more user friendly like
'4/23/2014' or 'April 23, 2014' etc. Can I accomplish this through mapserver?
<tr>
<td align="right"><b>GIS Date:</b></td>
<td>[item name="Date"]</td>
</tr>
Thanks
Sincerely,
Mark Volz, GISP
