    In a sketch, is it possible to mate the center of a circle around the
    centroid of a selected body?

    Sure. Use one of the macros that makes a 3D sketch point at the CG of a
    part, and then make a plane and a circle related to that.

    Realizing it won't be parametric. If you modify the sketch you will need
    to generate a new point, etc.

    If the macro is used in a macro feature, the 3D sketch point would be
    parametric and update with changes to the part.
