I did it now with the OFED packages only from the the CentOS repository 
which are based
on OFED 1.3. That means I am a version behind the newest OFED 1.4, but I 
don't have
dependency problems between packages from CentOS and OFED.
Then I tried something else: I compiled only the different MPI versions 
from OFED 1.4
and removed afterwards all packages installed from OFED for dependencies 
(only a few)
EXEPT the MPI packages. That worked well and saved me to compile all MPI 
versions
with differnt compilers by hand. So far I have tested openmpi, mvapich, 
and mvapich and all
of them worked fine.

Thanks for all the helpfull comments!
