I have recently installed a few BackupPC systems on CentOS 6.2-minimal.  I used the following RPM's:

NOTE:  This list found by running yum localinstall BackupPC-3.2.1-6.el6.x86_64.rpm and finding the packages it could not find, all from EPEL
        wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/6/x86_64/perl-File-RsyncP-0.68-6.el6.x86_64.rpm
        yum -y localinstall perl-File-RsyncP-0.68-6.el6.x86_64.rpm
        wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/6/x86_64/perl-Net-FTP-AutoReconnect-0.3-3.el6.noarch.rpm
        yum -y localinstall perl-Net-FTP-AutoReconnect-0.3-3.el6.noarch.rpm
        wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/6/x86_64/perl-Net-FTP-RetrHandle-0.2-3.el6.noarch.rpm
        yum -y localinstall perl-Net-FTP-RetrHandle-0.2-3.el6.noarch.rpm
Download BackupPC RPM for RHEL 6:
        wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/6/x86_64/BackupPC-3.2.1-6.el6.x86_64.rpm
        yum localinstall BackupPC-3.2.1-6.el6.x86_64.rpm

It is usually safe to just add the EPEL repo to your yum configuration as described here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#How_can_I_install_the_packages_from_the_EPEL_software_repository.3F
and then yum will sort out the dependencies itself.   The EPEL policy is to not replace/overwrite any upstream packages so it rarely causes any conflicts, but if you are concerned about that, after installing the epel-release package you can edit the /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo file and set enabled=0.  Then when you want something from there, add --enablerepo=epel on the yum command line when you install or update specific packages.  Most other 3rd party repos are not as careful about conflicts and are more dangerous to leave enabled for updates.
