Is there an easy way or anyway to establish a 128 bit encrypted tunnel between a handful of centos 5.2 boxes?

In addition the rest of the good info others already posted for you,
please remember that "128 bit encryption" doesn't mean anything unless you also specify the encryption scheme being used.

A 128 bit encryption scheme may or may not be easily broken depending on
which one it is. (Pick a good!)
Actually 'we' (crypto community) talk about crypto-suites, as you have to look at all the pieces involved. If everything is not disclosed (like with Skype), then you just don't know where the weakness may be.

SSH, IPsec (watch out for the 'Null' cipher :) ), TLS (some of the suites are too weak to talk about), and HIP are all well-rounded security protocols. I have worked on all of them.
