I don't think so:

[derek@(protected)
CentOS release 4.6 (Final)
Kernel \r on an \m

[derek@(protected)
Filesystem       1K-blocks    Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/md0         20161084 13561020  5575928 71% /
none             2537828      0  2537828  0% /dev/shm
/dev/md2         218130980 27003928 180046624 14% /home

As somebody else pointed out, since swap isn't a filesystem, it shouldn't
appear in df - even in CentOS.

As long as you have an entry in /etc/fstab like:
<SOMETHING> none swap sw 0 0
you're fine. <SOMETHING> will probably be a UUID= string, as it was created
by the installer, but could just as easily be /dev/hdc1
