I'm assuming you're referring to a bootable qcow2 image and not a split Amazon-style AMI/ARI/AKI images?

I'm the maintainer of the cloud-initramfs-tool package for Fedora/EPEL which you would need in order to grow the root partition. More specifically, the dracut-modules-growroot sub-package. However, it only exists in EPEL6 since I haven't had any requests for EPEL5 yet. You can file a bug at bugzilla.redhat.com to request an EPEL5 package. But if I'm not mistaken cloud-init in EPEL5 doesn't support filesystem resizing so the growroot package might not be sufficient.
