I'd like to try new NoSQL feature in MySQL 5.6 but I am using MariaDB 10.0.2 on Debian 6 and don't fancy coming back to MySQL.
I'm wondering whether the memcached plugin has been added to MariaDB? And if not whether one can still use it as an addon?
And if not, can I use the existing Cassandra plugin of MariaDB to the same effect?

Not yet. But slide 24 of mariadb-10-and-whats-new-with-the-project mentions:
https://kb.askmonty.org/en/what-is-mariadb-100/
The thought being that the InnoDB Memcached Plugin would come along with InnoDB from 5.6. Also see https://mariadb.com/blog/mariadb-10-vs-mysql-56-feature-comparison-update
https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-4674 is a request for it https://github.com/MariaDB/server/pull/126 is a patch
The source is https://github.com/MariaDB/server , this is where it would be added.
Update, add link to related issue: https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-12050 - "Remove unused InnoDB Memcached hooks from MariaDB Server"
