I've had good luck building geoserver straight from a trunk checkout and after deploying the war, just adding the geoserver-geonode-ext.jar into the WEB-INF/lib directory and restarting the servlet container. In fact, I did it specifically to work with cascaded layers.
Matthew, have you checked out my remote_services branch? https://github.com/jj0hns0n/geonode/tree/remote_services It is the first set of steps toward supporting cascaded layers directly in GeoNode. I would love to have some other collaborators on that branch.
