There should be no issue itself with building mod_wsgi from source code on
CentOS. If SELinux extensions are enabled that can sometimes cause issues if
the policy is very restrictive.
What exactly are they wanting to do and do they need to be running their web
application on port 80 for the box?
If just doing development at this point and with you upgrading the box soon,
for now they might use the pip installable mod_wsgi and simply run
mod_wsgi-express manually on port 8000.

This will allow them to build their own copy and run it out of their own
account, provided they are at least using Python virtual environments to allow
them to install into their account.
If for some reason the main Apache installation is really old or missing
development header files, they can even pip install a special package that will
install latest Apache into their own account as well.
When the box upgrade is done, then can sort out getting it integrated into the
main Apache installation for the system if that is necessary.
So this might be quickest route just to get them going while get past your
upgrade.
Have a look at this links and when have questions let me know.
