No, that's not possible.

First, in layers.ini metadata, the correct keywords are 'minScale' and 
'maxScale' (note the capital S => config parameters are case-sensitive!).

I would add that you cannot use metadata.maxScale (resp. 
metadata.minScale) for simple layers (ie. matching an effective mapfile 
layer). In that case, simply use the MAXSCALE (resp. MINSCALE) mapfile 
attribute.
See  http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/layer > MAXSCALE

The metadata mechanism is intended only for layerGroups (they are not 
described in the mapfile).
