Are you looking for the CentOS 4 OS apt setup ?

You should be aware of the fact that Apt-Rpm is only supported on i386,
and we prefer Yum as a package manager on CentOS. Having said that,
there are apt repositories for CentOS 4. 

The details you need to setup Apt for CentOS 4 /i386 :

Name: Base OS
URL: http://mirror.centos.org/
Distribution: centos/4/apt/i386
Section: os

Name: Updates
URL: http://mirror.centos.org/
Distribution: centos/4/apt/i386
Section: updates

Name: Extras
URL: http://mirror.centos.org/
Distribution: centos/4/apt/i386
Section: extras

( the main apt trunk is : http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/apt/i386/ )

If you need apt / Synaptic - they are available in the Extras
repository, and are pre-configured for the CentOS4 repo's. You can
download them here : http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/extras/i386/RPMS/
or enable the extras repository in /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo and
just run 'yum install synaptic'.

Hope this helps.
