This should be doable by storing a generated ETag, or the last-mod-time together with the old response in the memcached.

Logic then becomes:

check entry in memcached, if available
- check if conditional get
  - if condition met reply with 304 Not Modified
  - if not reply from memcached
if not in memcached: reproduce and store in memcached

For more details: http://ruturajv.wordpress.com/2005/12/27/conditional-get-request/ gives a nice overview
