You can try doing this

yum install php-mcrypt --exclude=php*5.3*

You can also try installing it directly from the site

rpm -ivh http://www2.atomicorp.com/channels/...4/RPMS/php-mcrypt-5.2.17-1.el5.art.x86_64.rpm

or

cd ~
wget http://www2.atomicorp.com/channels/...4/RPMS/php-mcrypt-5.2.17-1.el5.art.x86_64.rpm
rpm -vih php-mcrypt-5.2.17-1.el5.art.x86_64.rpm
