I've found the MapServer WMS "How To" to be a good reference:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_server

There's nothing special that TileCache needs once you have a valid WMS.

The inline comments in the capabilities doc are also useful in figuring 
out what you might be missing in your mapfile configuration.

Good luck,
