Thanks. I finally ended up installing bitcoin-qt from source per the following blog post:
http://www.ripplex.biz/blog/compiling-bitcoin-on-centos-v6-4

Seems to be working fine for me. FYI.  I tried to open a support ticket at RedHat.com requesting that they add bitcoin-qt, but it looks like only paying customers are allowed to do that Sad

Hi,  The official CentOS repository doesn't appear to contain an RPM package for bitcoin-qt. Anyone know why? 
Yes, because CentOS only rebuilds what upstream provides. So if you want to see Bitcoin in their official repos you need to make Redhat add it. Simple as that.

I found a couple third party RPMs, but I'm not quite sure I trust them. The alternative would be to install from source, but I'm trying to avoid that. Any suggestions?
