What we've done here at Stanford is to add "mkdir -p ${dir}" to the 
loop that checks for the the directories named in $VICEETC/cacheinfo.  
It does the same thing, but allows the cacheinfo file to be changed 
without needing to alter the startup script.

Another option, of course, is to mount afs somewhere different than 
specified in your cacheinfo file.  The -nomount option to afsd means 
that this setting is essentially irrelevant, so you can mount the AFS 
root anywhere you please.  That way, the check in the startup script 
will always pass.
