It seems to me that the megaclisas-statusd is basically 2 script files, 1 in /usr/sbin and the other a sysv initscript and should be easily modifiable to run on CentOS instead of Debian/Ubuntu with the requirement that you would need to have megacli installed/running. I agree that I couldn't find any rpm's of the same.
