This is not possible in current st. The mouse cursor shape is set by the following line in config.def.h (and therefore config.h):
/*
* Default colour and shape of the mouse cursor
*/
static unsigned int mouseshape = XC_xterm;
...and never altered anywhere else in the code.
If you modified the above line in config.h (using another value from the X11 header file cursorfont.h: possible values, with example appearance), you would get the new cursor shape all of the time. To have it change dynamically, based on the contents of the terminal, you'd have to write the feature yourself -- and given the goals of the suckless project, it is unlikely that such a feature would ever appear in unpatched st.
