It looks like XCP is/was based on CentOS. How close is it to CentOS now? As in, can I install CentOS packages on XCP? If so, which version of CentOS, 5.5? It sure would be a lot easier than compiling and maintaining a bunch of packages.

Most packages will install fine. But don''t go installing an X server or something like that. Also watch your disk space.

Yes, I pretty close. If you will no touch packages related to OS (kernel, modules) or XEN (open-vswitch, LVM, etc), you can setup software you need (gcc, mc, vim, even gnome or KDE). Look to /etc/yum.repos.d/ remove broken citrix repo, enable centos repos (in file set enable=1). After that yum is at your service.
