MapScript *is* MapServer.  MapServer comes in several flavors: CGI 
(mapserv) and several MapScript flavors (PHP, Perl, Python, Tcl, ...). 
The WMS Server interface on top of MapServer could also be considered 
another flavor.

Chameleon uses MapServer for various things, one of them being its WMS 
*client* capabilities.  Chameleon uses MapScript to fetch and assemble 
layers from remote WMS servers, reproject them, etc...
