Just read on planet centos that you can easily install apt on Centos too using yum.
Why would you want to do this?
Some people like the apt interface more than the yum interface. Some people feel that it is faster or meets their needs better. The reasons are outlined in DAGs post. Personally, I would rather port yum to debian systems.. so I can understand the want.
Especially interfaces on top of apt like aptitude need this as well. I personally prefer ncurses based interfaces over X-graphical ones when it comes to server management on remote sites.
