I'm a rank and file package builder too. Of course, Mock is not part of Centos base and you can't damage your install by using it, since it runs in a chroot.
Use the latest version (which might be epel) and get the hang of it - you may not like using it.
If you want to do broad searches about mock in C5, try the centos-dev group from the lists.centos.org page or #centos-dev on IRC.
