Only on windows. The ECW Software Development Kit (SDK) which provides the
interface to ECW images is not available on any other platforms. You must
compile mapserver to use GDAL for image handling, and GDAL must be compiled
with ECW support. Compiled windows binaries are available from:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/win32bin/ms35_libs.zip

My personal experience is that mapserver/ECW works very well for grayscale
images, but I found the rendering of color images a little below par.
