The options you are after are enabled in the IUS Community repository http://iuscommunity.org/ . You should simply be able to add this repository, then install the packages you want.
On a side note, you should really look at updating the system to 5.4, especially if it touches the internet. There are a couple packages in 5.2 that had some nasty exploits released. For example, udev has a local root exploit -> https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-0427.html, as well as some kernel issues, and other nastiness.
