Today (from memory, since it has been a while since I have done this):

  $ mock init [ -r mockcfg ]

This sets up the chroot. Then, you can copy files in and run either
'mock chroot' or 'mock shell'

Any suggestions on what you would require to make this process more
painless would be appreciated.
