Yes it is verry difficult to add central ac. You would need to run duct work to all rooms that you want cold. Other options are that if the house has an attic you could just cool the top floor by putting vents through the celing. Also you could cool some larger rooms with a twin split system.

If it has a large attic, you could put all of the duct work and the cooling system up there. Since heat rises and cool air goes down, then even if it is a two or three story house it would be cool down stairs. I put one in like that in a very large 19th century house in Cheraw, SC it had over 7,000 square feet and three levels, even in the heat of summer which can easily get to well over 100 degrees it stayed cool.
Mitsubishi has a product line called Mr. Slim. It requires an outside condensing unit, just like a typical system, and indoor handling units for each room. The units are connected by refrigerant lines running through small 3'; holes in the the wall or ceiling. You can see it at: http://www.mrslim.com/Products/Category.asp?ProductCategoryID=24
