I am not sure that I understand your question so if this answer is
totally irrelevant then please forgive me.

But, in case this might help, you can configure mock to use locally
provided repos and different architectures via the --configdir
parameter. You provide an architecture specific config file like
epel-6-x86_64.cfg in the specified directory and alter it to require
packages to suit a specific build requirement.

One of mine looks like this:

config_opts['root'] = 'epel-6-x86_64'
config_opts['target_arch'] = 'x86_64'
config_opts['legal_host_arches'] = ('x86_64',)
config_opts['chroot_setup_cmd'] = 'groupinstall buildsys-build'
config_opts['dist'] = 'el6'  # only useful for --resultdir variable subst

config_opts['yum.conf'] = """
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=1
reposdir=/dev/null
logfile=/var/log/yum.log

and one calls it like this:

mock --rebuild --root=epel-6-x86_64 --configdir=/home/byrnejb/mock   
/home/byrnejb/rpmbuild/SRPMS/httpd-2.4.9-1.el6.src.rpm
