One way is to enable the "centosplus" repository; then install a custom 
kernel.  Note that this technically breaks 100% compatibility with 
RHEL4.

read this:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/centosplus/Readme.txt

Towards the bottom of the document it covers install a kernel with XFS 
read-write support.

Note: I am not sure if you need to install the separate XFS utilities 
or whether they are included.
