CentOS-4 is based on FC3 ... so it is only an upgrade from FC2 or older.
I would not recommend upgrading anyway, though from FC2 or lower it would be POSSIBLE.
I'd agree with your last statement.. why bother making it so difficult on yourself, unless you enjoy hacking. (I don't mean that as a negative)
If you have your /home on a separate partition, then there's really no issue installing CentOS.. simply keep the existing /home partition, and don't format it.
