I'm in-need of rgdal installation for R in our CentOS 6 machine to
handle shapefiles.

Is there any reason that you cannot run
install.packages("rgdal")

which would be the recommended way to install a package with all dependencies 
automatically downloaded and installed?

Not the system software dependencies. For rgdal that is GDAL and PROJ.4 (and its databases). On any competent RPM-based system yum etc will download all their dependencies automatically. For Fedora 18 all I needed was

yum install gdal-devel proj-devel proj-nad

I'd ask again on r-sig-geo if that fails.

If you cannot do that, review the CRAN page for the packages which rgdal 
Depends on or Imports, and make sure those are also installed. Similarly, for 
each of those.
