Is it just the time sync pagage (ntp-4.2.2p1-9.el5.centos.2.1) that is
giving you trouble?  In which case just add an excludepkgs= line in the
updates.  (Like this [from a C4 system using a CentOSPlus kernel and
php packages]:

..
#released updates 
[update]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=updates
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4
priority=1
protect=1
excludepkgs=php* kernel kernel-devel kernel-doc
