You can use Varnish with App Engine, but you'll need to find a place to host Varnish.
It may or may not make sense depending on the additional, cross data center latency it introduces vs. cacheability. It's arguable whether this is worthwhile. On the one hand, with Varnish you get features such as the ability to flush a cache and server side includes for pages that are mostly static, but on the other hand, setting caching headers is really, really easy.
