That feature is available for:

* RHEL/SL/CentOS 4,5 -> PostgreSQL 9.0+
* RHEL/SL/CentOS 6 -> PostgreSQL 8.4+

So, since you are using CentOS 5, you may not be able to install 8.4 and
9.0 in parallel.

I don't have any intention to break current 8.4 RPMs in CentOS 5, and
let them to be installed in parallel, because it is the most used
package set among all RPMs.
