The packaging of addition php-pear modules is currently being
discussed, but has some issues with it. In the mean time some, if not
all of the php modules you want are available via yum from
dag.wieers.com/packages and centos.karan.org. While not official
centos packages, both packagers are very active in centos development
and are quite good.
