As you know, I'm a gentooer, not a RH/Fedora/CentOS guy.  However...

Rpmfind.net seems to have packages from the "DAG packages for Red Hat 
Linux el6" repository for pan, which (because as JH says CentOS is a RHEL 
rebrand) will almost certainly work just fine on CentOS 6 as well.

Looks like they're a bit dated, latest available is 0.135 (with 0.134 and 
0.133 also available for el6 and earlier versions all the way back to 
before the C++ rewrite available for el5 and el4), but they're there.

That's what I'd try -- back a decade ago when I still ran Mandrake, I 
used a lot of rawhide packages on it, including PAN IIRC, and apart from 
having to update a few deps from the same rawhide on rpmfind location, it 
worked just fine.

If you run into any deps not available directly, they too should be 
available on rpmfind/DAG.

Or more precisely limited to DAG packages...

You can plug in your arch as appropriate and do an even more limited 
search.
