Is it possible compile an a new x86_64 kernel on an i686 CentOS system?
no, you need to do it from an x86_64 machine.
Not strictly true, it is possible to build a x86_64 kernel on an i686 using a cross compiler - I rebuilt my first x86_64 kernel in this way ...
If you _really_ want to do it, googling for 'cross compiler x86_64' will produce many pointers, but I wouldn't recommend going there ...
