You may want to consult the man page for yum, and/or the documentation at http://centos.org/docs/4/ about yum.
yum list compat* will show you the available compat packages. Install the ones you need.

and on your local system
file:///usr/share/doc/yum-2.4.2
man yum.conf man yum-builddep # Not too usefull for us casual users? man yumdownloader man yum man yum-shell man yum-arch
