If anyone really needs to do this, there is a patch in the gdm srpm
called plymoth.patch that changes the parameters.  It's located on line
225.  If you change that to what you need and recompile it, it should
work.  Not that I recommend this...

In CentOS5 you were able to create a server section in
/etc/gdm/custom.conf such as

[server-Standard]
name=Standard server
command=/usr/bin/Xorg -br -audit 4 -s 15 
chooser=false 
handled=true
flexible=true
priority=0

After this change, Xorg would run with the -br -audit 4 -s 15 options. 

Unfortunately in CentOS6 this is not the case. It completely ignores
anything put into custom.conf as far as I can tell.  It appears to run
with -nr -verbose -auth -nolisten tcp by default.  Is there any way to
modify this?
