Sort-of... In recent Fedora versions ltsp5 is a packaged rpm. For a Centos base the easiest approach might be to re-install the k12ltsp EL5 distribution which is basically a stock Centos plus ltsp4, plus some other education-related stuff. A few years ago I would have recommended it highly, but it seems on it's way out now. You might be able to pick out the rpms and setup scripts that you'd need to back into an existing distribution but it's probably not worth the trouble for one terminal.
