So, is there any possibility to have kvm on C5?

yes, just do 'yum install kvm' and remember that x86_64 cpu with hardware virtualization is needed ..

... And in addition to that, I need to have a 64-bit OS running on it, which I apparently don't. Just my luck. :-(

Technically you don't need to have a 64-bit host OS to virtualize a 64-bit guest but that may be the way kvm is built. I know I used to run 64-bit linux versions under vmware player on a laptop running 32-bit windows XP. Maybe virtualbox would work...
