The older ones did - I just checked.
But 9.1 doesn't - sorry, my mistake.

 For details about packages in 9.1 professional vs. personal, see

http://www.suse.com/en/private/products/suse_linux/pers/packages_personal/index_all.html

As it turns out, 9.1 personal really doesn't include "gcc" or "make" any more.
I guess that was the price for the "live CD" version included in 9.1 personal 
- one CD of packages had to make room for the live CD. As the "Knoppix" 
distribution shows, people seem to like that concept.
