Long complicated answer: you'd need to get the src rpm, edit the .config used to add support for the driver, rebuild the rpm.... etc.
this is not quite correct; rather that messing with the kernel SRPM, you should also be able to pull down the kernel-source RPM:
yum -y install kernel-source
this will create /usr/src/linux-<kernel version>, which contains the kernel source.
this doc is old, but you may be able to compile a custom kernel using a similar procedure:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/custom-guide/s1- custom-kernel-modularized.html
but i'd add my voice to those recommending that you NOT compile you own kernel, and instead use the centosplus kernel, especially if it contains the module(s) you need.
