First, regarding gnumeric, because there is no CentOS-5 rpm,
rebuilding from the FC6 src.rpm file is the way to go as Frank Fox
wrote.  You may have to get some -devel packages from FC6 as well if I
remember.

Second, because gnumeric is not available for CentOS 5, the yum
command should say Nothing to do.  Your kbs-Extras repos are probably
not right.  Install the .repo files from http://centos.karan.org/ .
Note also that as of this writing (October 23, 2007), C5 packages are
still in testing.  If you need them, you need to add
--enablerepo=kbs-CentOS-Testing as an option to the yum command.
