no, there is no support for that format. It is used internally, though.

At the moment it supports two formats. 

- /proxy/tms/1.0.0 as described in http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Tile_Map_Service_Specification 
- /proxy/tiles a simplification of the TMS format

The later does not serve any metadata and always begins with a single tile on level 0, as expected by OpenLayers.

It should be easy to add the Tilecache format. You only need another subclass of TileRequest. See
http://bitbucket.org/olt/mapproxy/src/tip/mapproxy/tms/request.py

Yes, that should work then.

Regards,
Oliver
