kernel-2.6.18-128.1.6.el5.src.rpm from upstream provider can be rebuilded without any problems with mock. You must set proper target architectures in mock: $ mock --target noarch,i686,i386 -r redhat-5.3-i386 kernel-2.6.18-128.1.6.el5.src.rpm
Rebuilded package has unifdef: $ rpm -qp --requires kernel-2.6.18-128.1.1.el5.src.rpm | grep unifdef unifdef

hi, it seems there should happened something with centos build system between kernel 2.6.28-128.1.1 and 2.6.18-128.1.6 compilation. because although the two spec files only differs with a few dozen of patches the resulted src.rpm are different ie:
# rpm -qp --requires kernel-2.6.18-128.1.1.el5.src.rpm | grep unifdef unifdef # rpm -qp --requires kernel-2.6.18-128.1.6.el5.src.rpm | grep unifdef

and this small differences means the latest kernel can't be compiled in mock. what's more the same is not true for rhel's kernel ie. in case of rhel's 2.6.18-128.1.6 it gives unifdef. so it's a centos bug and with this bug centos don't follow upstream behavior. just my 2c.
