I wonder if the current nmap version for openSUSE 11.1 is capable to
detect Conficker infected machines on the network, or if the latest
version of nmap is required as described in the Linux Journal?

The article states that you 'You MUST get nmap-4.85BETA5' (or later). In 11.1,
there is nmap-4.75, so it won't work.

You have to build it yourself or try RPMs from nmap homepage:

I installed nmap-4.85BETA7-1 from http://nmap.org/download.html and on
installation it wanted to remove my zenmap-4.75-6.38 . I tried the
zenmap from nmap.org but it had strange python package dependencies so I
ignored the zenmap-4.75-6.38 dependencies to keep the opensuse version
and it worked complete with confiker detection. I didn't have the worm
on the network so I can't confirm the detection abilities .
