Your question isn't very clear to me, I suspect that we misunderstood 
what you meant and we are probably not answering the right question.  So 
just to make sure there is no confusion:

1- Chameleon is a MapScript application... so you cannot run or install 
Chameleon without installing MapScript on your server.

2- Once Chameleon is installed, it can talk to *any* WMS server, and 
this happens through the WMS protocol... so it can talk to any remote 
WMS server no matter which software runs on the remote server as long as 
it supports WMS... but you still need MapScript locally on your own 
server that runs Chameleon.
