CentOS 5 doesn't support XFS in the installer
Once you have installed CentOS (with ext3 on the root disk), you can then install the xfsprogs RPM and make XFS file systems on other partitions/disks
And that's the exact same answer Kaushal was given on #centos earlier in the day. Let's not forget he was wanting an XFS /boot and / (and so using a LiveCD was suggested to do the format and partition in advance of the installer). Then there was a desire to do it all within the installer, so it was suggested you could just copy mkfs.xfs into the installer and do it by hand in the shell.
