Edit the php.spec file and add subpackages for any extensions you might want, and rebuild using that spec file. The php.spec file is nicely organized. What you need to change is the configure command (add extensions you want), and define new subpackages for your extensions (copy&paste definitions for existing subpackages and change names). It's fairly trivial. If you have problems with editing it, let me know and I could send you the php.spec file I'm using (that has mcrypt extension enabled among other things). BTW, once you have "custom" PHP subpackage installed (for example php-mcrypt), you'll have to rebuild it by hand every time there is a security update. The dependencies will prevent automatic upgrade of main php package (php-* subpackages always depend on exactly the same version of main php package). There's an update for PHP coming (Red Hat already released it for RHEL4). You might want to wait for a day or two for CentOS to release it, and than rebuild.
