CentOS 4 is quite dependent upon 2.6 kernels.  Is using CentOS 3 not an 
option?  CentOS 3 uses a 2.4 kernel that could take the openmosix patch.

However, there is a 2.6 openMosix, but it's only available in CVS right now.  
There are bootable openMosix floppies for instant clusters, as well.  Cool 
stuff.
