I don't think that this would work without unknown high number of hacks (maybe 
not in HAL, but in other applications). You should keep in mind 
that 'whatdependson hal' give ~377 packages which get triggered to rebuild on 
a HAL update. You should also keep in mind that a up-to-date HAL (as in 
factory) need several packages which may need also a update as e.g. udev, 
libsmbios, pm-utils, policykit ...

At least you get maybe trouble if you use a older kernel with current HAL 
since there are maybe sysfs changes and HAL may not work correct in current 
version with older kernel. 

I would avoid a HAL update only for GNOME update, also in OSBS, since this 
would IMO update the half system. I this case you can also update to a newer 
openSUSE release.
