What is varnish or memechched?
My advice is to just install the software. And ask somewhere else.
There is openacs.org and the AOLserver mailing list.
The best way to get help is to "try first and ask honest questions
later". Nobody is going to expend more effort to help you than the
effort you appear to have expended prior to asking.
You can play around with a few binary packages for AOLserver+postgres,
but if you are serious about using AOLserver, you must be comfortable
with compiling each package from scratch. For instance, until recent
versions, default Tcl installations were not compiled with threads, so
you can't use the basic tcl installation.
In the long run it just doesn't work to use the system installation of
Tcl with AOLserver. So just learn to build your own Tcl (always
useful, even if you never use AOLserver).

The Tcler's Wiki used to use Varnish (an HTTP cache) as a front-end
cache to the Wub-hosted Wikit engine. However, IIRC it caused lots of
trouble and in the end it proved better to scrap it and speed up Wub
(better caching internally, plus moving from metakit to sqlite, which
was faster for the workloads the wiki typically gets).
Memcached is a hashing engine (simple mapping of strings to strings
only) that can be distributed across a cluster of servers. I believe
it has an expiration strategy for the contained therein; it's just a
fast cache that's indexed by strings. I've never directly used it.
