the rpm command is telling you that you are missing some libraries. 
Somehow, I doubt you need all those connection protocols at the same time. 
How do you plan to connect? sspi? ssl? pserver? You don't need all those 
rpm's if you aren't going to use them all. Once you decide which ones you 
need, then you'll need to make sure the library dependencies are 
installed. For example, if you want to enable database auditing (so cvs 
command history gets saved to a database) and you want to use mysql for 
that, then you'll need to install the mysql client libraries from the 
centos rpm repository (using yum, probably). 

The cvsnt rpm's should work fine on centos, I've installed that way 
several times, myself. 

Good luck...
