S3 is not a protocol, so it wouldn't have a Layer.

The ka-Map support does not support the ka-Map cache directory style: it
works by communicating with tile.php. There has not been a patch
provided (That I'm aware of) to access ka-Map caches via the cache
directory. 

This is similar to the difference between the Layer.TileCache and
Layer.WMS. There is no equivilant of Layer.TileCache for ka-Map caches.
