mock builds the package in a chroot on your system where as koji is done 
in a chroot on the koji build servers.

Both will pull in all dependencies into their chroot as specified in the 
srpm .SPEC file, giving you a clean build unaffected by whatever 
packages you may/may not have on your system.
