Sorry for the late response.

AFAIK, kojid overrides mock site-defaults and turns off ccache,
yum_cache and root_cache:

https://fedorahosted.org/koji/browser/koji/__init__.py#L1276

Btw, instead of fiddling with koji-builder internals, we decided to
manually build via mock and then import the packages on koji; this
lets use to do whatever we like with build-time mock parameters and
still use koji as a repository backend, and we're quite satisfied with
the results.
