as I suspected the ifconfig hw ether statement works just fine, unfortunately however when I specify a HWADDR within the config file it just errors telling me that the mac specified doesn't match the one on the card.

In any case inspection of the ifup script and testing indicate that it is possible to do within the interface configurations. Include the following directive in your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX configuration file, substituting the desired mac address:
MACADDR=00:11:22:33:44:55

Good luck,
