Maybe the MS4W supports MrSID images... You could also download pre-compiled MrSid libraries for Linux and compile Mapserver/GDAL with it. I don't know exactly if it prohibits the use on "server software" as ECW license does, but I have not found this in their license file.
If the ECW libraries are included or not in MS4W, it's probably not permitted to use this in a productive server environment. I guess it somehow has been accepted once by ERMapper, though the 2005 license terms clearly state that server usage is not included..., and the 2007 terms do not allow anything without acceptance by ERMapper, now Erdas. Maybe you could just use Geotiff, depending on available disk space, 1 sqkm in 1 m resolution should take 3 MB, 0.5 m resolution images accordingly 12 MB/sqkm. If you can compile Mapserver yourself on Linux you could also use the OpenJpeg v2 library, perhaps a bit slower than ECW, but free. The file size you can get to similar ranges as for ECW. You need the latest GDAL (1.8) for this.
