On Dec 1. the drivers are available on the Supplementary channel
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2009-1624.html
Any chance to get them for CentOS?

Hello, I Installed 5.4 on a test system to use KVM, but i didn't find the "virtio-win" package with the Windows drivers.
Looks like these are provided via the RHN Supplementary Channel. I'd imagine they are not freely distributable?
I'm sure someone else can confirm.

There are freely redistributable, but still they aren't published by upstream. You can use these instead:
http://www.linux-kvm.com/content/windows-binary-virtio-drivers-finally-relea..., but there are a lot of problems with any windows 64 bits. And another problem, a big really, is that you can¡t install a windows kvm guest directly to a virtio disk. First you need to install to an ide disk, after generate a virtio disk and attach to win guest, install the virtio driver and last remove ide drive ... very very ugly.
