I would like to use Python 2.4 features in my Django apps running on CentOS 4.7. The default version of Python is 2.3 and I think it would be best not to try replace it. Is there a way to install a newer version of Python alongside and somehow tell Apache to use that for mod_python?

Yep, just build your own python and put it somewhere else (something like /opt or /usr/local). You'll need to rebuild mod_python, when you do you can specify the new python location.

./configure --with-python=/path/to/python2.4
