I would think that Oracle would run pretty much out of the box on RHEL5 (and CentOS 5), as the kernel/glibc is not bleeding edge and Redhat works pretty close with Oracle (as they do with other Enterprise software). That does not mean it is ready for production, but it should be ready for testing and piloting.
indeed, I've heard Oracle flat out won't support you if you're running on CentOS 4, even tho its functionally nearly identical to RHEL4 which is supported.

Hope this doesnt start too much of a flamewar, but I have to ask...
If you can afford an Oracle license, why not just buy a RHEL license?
From my limited understanding, Centos is a rebuild of one variant of
RHEL. RHEL has at least three different versions; Desktop, Advanced and Server. I couldn't find anything on the centos.org page about which of the variants the source is rebuilt from. maybe a collect of all?
