 So does anyone know how to configure a serial port properly in CentOS 5.5?

The following link describes how to configure libvirt for serial port

If it is possible to pass through a physical serial port to a virtual
machine ( and I do not know if it is, sorry, just bla bla ;-), then i
would expect it to be guest os independent, that means it has to be
configured in the host ?

if its not plug and play, setserial(8), then use whatever /dev/ttyS# its 
configured as.
