I understand that a 'no cache' option is available in the open call but I don't have access to the source code of the software I'm working with.

On 10.5 there are actually two no cache options, F_NOCACHE, which works on a file descriptor, and F_GLOBAL_NOCACHE, which works on the file system object itself (the vnode). You could write a separate tool that opened the file, set it globally non-cacheable (F_GLOBAL_NOCACHE) and held it open for the duration of the job.
