do i have to open specific port for rsync if i m running a firewall?

Yes, if you're doing rsync with another machine over the network.

Errm, it depends how you're using rsync and how the firewall is set up. First, rsync can run in two ways: (1) using an external transport, normally ssh (2) using an 'rsync daemon', rsyncd For the first method, setup is just the same as for ssh. For the second, it depends on what port you've configured rsyncd to run with (873 is default). That port needs to be open. In both cases, what setup is required will depend on what firewall on what version of the OS is being run and how rsync is installed (via yast or from a tarball etc etc) So a bit more info is needed to give a precise answer, but the Suse and/or rsync docs are pretty comprehensive.
