At work, we cut a 6" hole in the wall for a duct. Later we decided we now want a 10 inch duct in the same place. what tricks are there to center the larger hole over the center of the smaller hole if it is already cut? I'm using a hand saw to cut into dry wall.

          you can take a scrap piece of wood (maybe a scrap piece of drywall might work) and use the 10" hole saw to make a hole in the scrap piece (this will be you're "Guide"). Then center the "Guide" onto your wall and use the 10" hole as a guide for the hole saw to keep it centered. It might be easier with two people, one holding the Guide and the other using the drill.
