In the meantime I managed to get stuff running by adding a module like below.

xinetd is running with system_u:system_r:inetd_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh,
sshd binary is labelled as system_u:object_r:sshd_exec_t, so I did not
need any relabelling, I just needed the domain transition to switch sshd
to unconfined_t. It stayed as inetd_t or went to inetd_child_t before; I
can't remember right now and I'm not too willing to hack at it again due
to kernel bugs (on a system broken in the right way the kernel panics in
do_sys_open -> (..) -> chrdev_open -> ptmx_open -> init_dev; probably
a missing IS_ERR somewhere).

I'd have expected the run_ssh_inetd tunable to do this but apparently,
it does nothing at all in the targeted policy (as of CentOS 5.4).

So, for future reference, here's the module I needed:

--------------------- cut --------------------
module inetdssh 1.0.0;

require {
        type inetd_t;
        type unconfined_t;
        type sshd_exec_t;
        class process { transition };
}

#============= inetd_t ==============
allow inetd_t unconfined_t:process transition;
type_transition inetd_t sshd_exec_t : process unconfined_t;

#============= unconfined_t ==============
allow unconfined_t self:process transition;

--------------------- cut --------------------
