The answer may well depend on what pocket door object you are using.
I'd be guessing you need to set a 0 (zero) reveal depth so the frame sits flush with the face of the wall and then specify your frame depth to be the same as the wall thickness.

One thing to add to Barry's answer.
Be sure that "Centered Leaf" is checked in the door frame settings.

If you mean centring the door opening along the length of the wall, The "Special Snap Constraint" can centre anything on anything else. It's found on the "Drafting Aids" toolbar.

Indispensable tool. used in conjunction with "Special Snap Options" settings.
