"yum localinstall packagename" will give you a list of what it requires but
since it won't recognize the signature on the acroread rpm it won't actually
install anything. You can then "yum install" everything needed from the list
that it generates.
Or you can install the adobe repository rpm and then just do "yum install
packagename" and that will download and install everything for you.
You also might want to reconsider using acroread. I've found that the evince
pdf reader that comes with Centos 6 is really good.
