No, then you'd use mkisofs.
mkisofs -r -J -o output.iso /tmp/suse #should do the trick. The -r is
for RockRidge iso-extensions with usable permissions, the -J is for
Joliet extensions (for Windows), the -o is for output. You might want
to have a look at mkisofs --help (or the manpage) because there are a lot
more options.
