The kernel includes general PPS support, but there is no support for
PPS on serial devices (pps_ldisc module). You'll probably need to use
a newer version of kernel or backport the module to the old version.
You'll also need to recompile the ntp package with the timepps.h
header.

It might be easier to try a newer distro. For instance, Fedora 14 and
later have kernel, ntp and chrony packages compiled with PPS support
and it should work out of the box, even with SELinux enabled :).
