1) just try to use or modprobe it and find out by trial and error
2) see which filesystems modules are available:
   find /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/fs -name "*.ko"
3) look in the config for your kernel to see if something is enabled:
   grep CONFIG_UFS_FS /boot/config-$(uname -r)

UFS support (read-only) is avaiable in the centosplus kernel but not in 
the "normal" one. Switching kernel is not hard, yum install ... edit your 
grub.conf and reboot.
