Hi Kevin,
I don't think so.  But you could grab the image from MapServer  
directly in, say, a TIFF format instead or via WMS if you can find a  
way with gdal_translate.

Can gdal_translate be used to cut out a portion of an image and  
translate it
at the same time?

Yes, using the -srcwin or -projwin parameters.
