I do not do Centos, but if it has packages for MythTV, just install
the frontend packages.  MythTV packages come as a set with matching
frontend and backend.  And mythfrontend will tell you if it tries to
connect to an incompatible backend.  Both the database and the
communications protocols are versioned and the versions are checked on
startup.
