This magic incantation (swiped from a sage wiser than me) has worked
quite well on CentOS 5.x systems:

        svn co https://svn.iu.hio.no/projects/cfengine-3/trunk
          (or svn update, if you already have a copy checked out...)

        aclocal
        automake -a -c 
        autoconf
        autoreconf --force --install --symlink
        ./configure --with-pcre  --with-tokyocabinet --without-sql 
--with-graphviz 
        make 


Obviously, you'll need libtokyocabinet, PCRE, and graphviz installed.
If you cut out graphviz, and reduce the number of library dependencies
by quite a bit.
