Are you sure the filesystem is really corrupt? Maybe it's only your kernel
which doesn't understand the old XFS version?
To use older xfs_repair, you can just download an older version like
xfsprogs-2.9.4-1.el4.centos.x86_64.rpm, extract it to a directory and call
the xfs_repair binary from the package.
I'm not sure whether you need a matching xfs kernel module to run
xfs_repair successfully.

Simon
