I am embarking on putting in kitchen units (from ikea). The wall with
the run of cabinets is 3.0m exactly, with enclosing walls on either
side. I have balanced 4 sets of 600 units plus 1 500, which allows a
buffer of 100mm to allow for any spacing issues. Crude illustration
below using ascii chars:

gap 3.0m gap
-------------------------------------------------------
|5 | 600 | 600 | 600 | 500 | 600 |5 |
| |_________|_________|_________|_______|_________| |
| |
| |
| |


My question is, do I start the first cabinet in 4-5cm and put a facia
over the gap, or do I start the first cabinet flush with the wall also
the last cabinet also flush to the opposite wall and put the gap in
the middle of the cabinets somewhere?

Side note.
The combination of 600's and 500 you have chosen seems to be ..the minimum
number of units to fill the width. 600 width units are very big and the
doors open out a long way.
If its not too late, you could go for 500's all the way, leaving whatever
size gap at each end to allow you to add some thing else like a wine rack
and tray storage like Phil said.
Also, a row of 600 width units will look impersonal like a canteen or
restuarant kitchen.
