Derek, You cannot generally mix FWTools and standard binaries. The FWTools binaries deliberately use distinct naming because they are not a release level ABI. I presume the DNC files are not working with the standard mapserver binaries because they use a GDAL/OGR version that does not include OGDI support. The OGDI gateway for GDAL/OGR is an optional item and not include in simple builds. I would note that OSGeo4W (http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w) also includes OGDI support.
