Or you could just map a directory on the host into /var/lib/mock/result in the guest, using the virtio-9p filesystem feature of KVM. Basically this gives you shared filesystem, but without any TCP/networking involved. NB, works with KVM in Fedora hosts, but not RHEL which does not ship 9p support
We use that as basis for the libreswan testing infrastructure: https://github.com/libreswan/libreswan/tree/master/testing/libvirt Then based on MAC address (hardcoded in libvirt xml files) we can fire up VMs that mount our testing directory and source directory as 9p, and /testing/guestbin allows us to auto-config the VMs, and run the various tests, capture output files, even when IPsec breaks all networking on the VMs. On the host we run tcpdump on the bridge devices to capture all traffic. Currently we use f17 guests, I hope rhel7 wil get writable 9p filesystems.
