Sure. Download the latest driver source code and backport it to your kernel. If you can live without the latest additions to the uvcvideo driver you can start with the SVN version, it includes more compatibility code for older kernels (down to 2.6.15). > I am running CentOS 4.6 with kernel version 2.6.9-78.0.13.EL.smp and using > a Logitech QuickCam Communicate MP (aka S5500) camera (usb id number: > 0x046d:09a1).

If you can't backport the driver yourself ask CentOS for help. Shipping a 3 years old kernel makes them responsible for the backports.
