The TileCache distribution includes an HTML example, index.html, which
shows how to use it with OpenLayers. Assuming that your bbox and
resolutinos array are the defaults, it should be really simple -- when they're not anymore, things get a bit more difficult.

Yep. Example from the OpenLayers homepage:

var ol_wms = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS( "World Map", 
              "http://labs.metacarta.com/wms-c/Basic.py?", {layers:
              'basic', format: 'image/png' } );
