So the fix below is a solution to the first step of the problem.
Turns out, policygentool actually does need polgen and not sepolgen. And polgen is in no RPM's I could find in the CentOS 5 repos.
How I fixed this was replace the CentOS 5 file with the Fedora 8 policygentool file. The Fedora 8 version actually does not import polgen or sepolgen: it only uses standard Python libraries.

I just installed a fresh copy of Centos 5.1, yum upgraded all, and the following error occurred with selinux-policy-devel-2.4.6-106.el5_1.3 rpm.
When I was trying to run policygentool, I was getting the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/selinux/devel/policygentool", line 25, in ?
Import polgen
ImportError: No module named polgen
Turns out, online 25 the following diff should be made:
- import polgen
+ import sepolgen
I assume the Python module changed names.
I uninstalled the RPM and reinstalled it to ensure I was getting the same error, and I did.
