If you are looking to run a more recent kernel on CentOS 5, check out
elrepo.  You can run either the long term support kernel or the mainline
(stable) kernel.  Here's a link to the long term kernel (which has a
link to the mainline kernel):

http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-lt

(Actually, you can only get the lt kernel for CentOS 5, but that's still
3.2 as opposed to 2.6.)

I think it makes more sense to do this than to try to force a CentOS 6
kernel into CentOS 5.
