And how exactly would you do that if the installation just can't proceed if it detects you do not have a PAE processor?

Here's a "work-around" method posted at Scientific Linux to install version 6 on a non-PAE computer. I'm pretty sure it could be applied to CentOS as well. I don't know how practical it is in the long run but, at the very least, I think it would give you a bootable CentOS (or SL) 6 install on a non-PAE system. From there you could probably compile your own kernel.

It all starts by booting from a netinst iso for Fedora 13.
