What you have below looks correct to me. For sl4 I just used the  
following and it worked for me.

config_opts['root'] = 'sl-4-i386'
config_opts['target_arch'] = 'i386'
config_opts['chroot_setup_cmd'] = '-d 2 install buildsys-build'
config_opts['dist'] = 'sl4'

# ccache not available on epel4
config_opts['plugin_conf']['ccache_enable'] = False

config_opts['yum.conf'] = """
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=1
reposdir=/dev/null
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
