The short answer is no, mapserver doesn't know how to handle
GetFeatureInfo request when acting as a WMS client.

However if you are using MapScript you can use the
$layer->GetWMSFeatureInfoUrl() method which will construct a
GetFeatureInfo URL.  You can then call this URL from your script and try
to do something useful with the result.
