Untested, but I think that if I needed this, I would probably add an
"if" inside the location{}.

It would need testing, and it does depend on what is in the "apache-pass"
file, but presuming that it does do "proxy_pass" and does not do anything
that is invalid in an "if in location", then

>    location ~ ^/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/ { #Use cache if possible, then proxy pass

       if ($arg_nocache = true) {
         include /etc/nginx/apache-pass;
       }

>       try_files /cache/$1.html.gz /cache/$1.html @apache;

could possibly work.

(At least until the config is changed in the future to add more if()s
in that location. So don't do that.)
