It should, it's WSGI and tilecache already does that IIRC, so if you don't 
have the time I'll make a quick test/comparison of the two. I don't expect 
more change than a couple of lines. With serving cached/pregenerated content 
it should be a fair bit quicker than mod_python and lightyears from CGI. It 
requires more fiddling with regard to apache configs and system settings, 
though, compared to mod_python which has a fairly fire-and-forget install 
under apache. You can't have it all, I guess :)
