Oh sorry, I skimped over that one.

I thought you might have installed from source. You need to run 
dnscache-conf which will setup all the files necessary for an instance 
of dnscache.

According to your first post, you would need to do something like:

dnscache-conf someuser someuser /var/lib/svscan/dnscache [ an_ip ]

an_ip can be 127.0.0.1 if it is solely for local use or the ip of the 
interface connected to the network that it will serve.

Why did you not installed the djbdns package available on Jaunty? 
Worried about who knows what patches they applied?
