The Dynamic Cache module allows you to set a global variable to turn on and off cached page responses if you use it within a hook_boot() implementation. The following hook_boot() sees if anonymous traffic is coming from Google; if it is, it keeps cache disabled. Otherwise, it'll enable caching and use cached responses (or generate one):

function fcf_boot() {
  if (!$GLOBALS['user']->uid) {
    global $user;
    // Determine if Google is the referrer.
    $host = parse_url($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], PHP_URL_HOST); // subdomain.google.com
    $parts = array_reverse(explode('.', $host)); // (com, google, subdomain)
    // Make sure we have at least 3 parts to avoid undefined array key notices.
    while (count($parts) < 3) {
      $parts[] = '';
    }
    list($tld, $domain, $subdomain) = $parts;

    if ($domain == "google" ) {
      // Set a variable (only good for current request) that other
      // applications can use to determine if this is a FCF instance.
      $_POST['fcf'] = TRUE;
    } else {
      // Enable cache for non-google requests.
      $GLOBALS['conf']['cache'] = TRUE;
    }
  }
}
