Not exactly. Caching is used to « remember » articles you do not
want to see expired/deleted. You can mimic agent with cache by
caching all articles (read, unread, ticked, dormant,...) but you
need for this :

1. either make any article enters the cache (see
   gnus-cache-enter-articles).
2. either « batch » all articles by calling `gnus-jog-cache' such
   as : emacs -batch -l ~/.emacs -l gnus -f gnus-jog-cache"

So to mimic agent you have to tweak this carefully since, by
default, read articles are removed from the cache and, still by
default, only ticked and dormant articles enter the cache.

This is okay for the offline reading part of the problem, but
what about posting messages when offline then ?
