R for CentOS (and RHEL) is available via the Extra Packages for  
Enterprise Linux (EPEL). More information on how to use the EPEL is  
here:

   http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL

At the moment, it would appear that they have not yet released 2.9.1,  
but they do have 2.9.0 as can be seen here:

   http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/4/i386/repoview/R- 
core.html

There is usually a bit of a delay in the Fedora/EPEL repos releasing a  
new version of R, but I would expect to see something soon.

HTH,
