Right. The other option, if there is some specific thing you need changed is to grab the source RPM and tweek the .spec file and include your own patch(es). Keep the patch(es), along with a patch file for the .spec file someplace, so you can patch future versions. But Ian is right: you need a really good reason NOT to just use the distro provided RPM, along with whatever extras from EPEL (or rpmforge, etc.) you might need. Also: check out CentOSPlus as well, if you need more bleeding edge or whatever.
Ever tried moving the install-location to /usr/local by changing the spec-file?
Last time I looked, there was so much hard-coded stuff in the spec- file that it was almost impossible to change.
