What is specifically not yet available and/or opensource are all the jboss and maven2 requirements ... at least not the versions that are in RHEV. We are looking into the RHEV packages, and I hear that they plan to release an upgraded version with more of the enterprise package sources available by 2nd quarter 2012. If you want to try early adoption things then this might be for you: http://www.ovirt.org/ If you are only looking for the things that you listed (kvm,qemu,libvirt,spice) those are all in 6.2 right now. But, to answer your question (if it is about RHEV) ... if and when the sources for the enterprise tools of RHEV-H and RHEV-M become available in a ready to build way ... then yes will the CentOS project build them.
