Maybe the best option for Centos is to create a php-pearplus (or whatever name) rpm that duplicates the standard php-pear, but also updates and adds any extra modules for Horde (and is set to conflict with php-pear so both can't be installed together). You could have one for php4 and one for php5 that way too.
This would leave you without a clean upgrade path when CentOS 5 (or whatever) comes out with a new-and-improved php-pear that couldn't upgrade the Centosplus php-pearplus.
The upstream provider is aware of the various problems with php-pear - see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=173270 and the many bugs linked to from that. It looks like you could steal the php-pear from Fedora Test, since many of the fixes appear to already be in it; then you'd be more likely to get a clean upgrade.
