I administer a postfix mail server on CentOS 6. Now I want to setup another with similar configuration.

But the postgrey package is no longer available in Epel for this CentOS release as I have seen now: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/postgrey/

1. Will I have to make an upgrade of the existing mail server to get security patches again or is it not critical to use the old package?

You will have to get advice from the epel peopel for support for postgrey.

2. Can you give advice for an alternative setup of greylisting for postfix on CentOS 6?

Postgrey is largely obsoleted by postscreen which comes with postfix versions 2.8 and up. You can get the latest postfix (including postscreen) for CentOS 6 from GhettoForge (www.ghettoforge.org).
