Can you upgrade cPanel/WHM servers with CentOS 4.9 and 5.8 up to CentOS 6.x?

In-place upgrades are a difficult process. You will probably want to rebuild onto new servers and migrate your data. That gives you a test platform and a fallback point in case you application needs tweaking on the new OS.

In-place upgrades are no longer supported.

No, upgrading between major centos releases is not supported and requires a reinstall.
