Please Read the information concerning "Guidelines for CentOS Mailing List posts" at the bottom of this link:
http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=16
Specifically, it is much easier to follow a quoted e-mail on the list if you do not "top post".
It is also better to set your e-mail client to send to the list as "Text" and not "HTML" type.

With respect to installing RPMS ...
You CAN NOT install rpms built for one distribution on another distribution ... let me explain why.
Linux uses "Shared Libraries" (as does Windows with .dll files). The point of a "Shared Library" is so that you only build the NEW things you need for the program you are building, and you get the REST of the information from files that are already available.
If you try to install packages built against Fedora 11 on CentOS 5 then none of the "Shared Libraries" that the package was built against (the versions in Fedora 11) are in CentOS 5, so it does not work.
It is sometimes possible to take Fedora "SOURCE RPMS" (a <package_info>.src.rpm) and build it on a CentOS 5 machine and then use the resultant "Binary RPMS" on CentOS-5.
One should NEVER, EVER install "Binary RPMS" from one distribution on another distribution ... doing will not work. The files are built against different libraries and even if they install they will likely not work.
As others have pointed out, there are other repositories available:
http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories
If what you need is not there, you will need to build it or convince someone else to build it for you.
