I don't think so. Patterns are used by YaST(2), not rpm/zypper NAICT. The
following e.g. bring not found errors:

zypper rm kde3-pattern
zypper in pattern-kde4
zypper in task-xfce
zypper rm gnome-meta
zypper in desktop-icewm
zypper in kde3-workspace
zypper in xfce.ymp
zypper in xfce-ymp
zypper in ymp-xfce
zypper in ymp.xfce

I don't expect perfection in a removal, but this is also about adding. Surely
there are names for "patterns" that rpm & zypper can use.

For comparison, on a standard Ubuntu install, which is Gnome only, 'sudo
apt-get install kde-core' would add everything required to get a working KDE
DTE, 'sudo apt-get install kde-desktop' would convert to a complete Kubuntu
environment, 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop' would convert to a
complete Xubuntu environment, and 'sudo apt-get remove gnome-desktop' would
uninstall all parts of Gnome not required for various GTK apps left behind to
run on other DTEs.
