nothing directly available like that. Also to me it would not make much of sense adding a shape-based layer to the application without specifying some layer details (classes & legend, field names for identify, definition of category, search functions for the new layer, etc).
One possibility to reduce the amount of interaction of an administrator would be to try to define everything in the map file, without the necessity of modifying the XML config file. It is e.g. not necessary to define the layers/groups and categories in the XML file. The categories can be defined as well in the map file using the METADATA tag "CATEGORY" "cat_admin" or "CATEGORY" "cat_admin:Administrative Data" if you directly want to define the descriptive name visible in the application in the map file. You could define the layers in separate files and just reference them to the map file using the INCLUDE tag for adding a newly defined one, like INCLUDE "/home/pmapper/myapp/country.lyr" INCLUDE "/home/pmapper/myapp/cities.lyr" see http://mapserver.org/mapfile/Include.html Doing this could also be mainly automated with some scripting (PHP, Perl, Python, Unix shell, etc), and would require to run an update script once that checks for new layer definition files and add them to the map file.
