Mike Sacco posted this clue on how to get KDE Updated via 
Yast many months ago and As far as I know it's still valid...

I ALWAYS use this method and it has always worked for me.
You have to change the version number a bit.

ALSO note that this works for the mirrors which are often 
faster .

Hello everyone,

I thought about this a while ago and found an answer on suse's kde mailing
list.

Open up YaST and go to Change Source of Installation.  Add an ftp one, such
 as this:
ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_8.2/yast-source

Use the 'up' button to make sure this is at the top of the list.  Then, back
at the main window of YaST, choose system update, and and select only update
installed packages.  There is a details button that shows what is going to be
updated, so you can check it out yourself.  Since I'm already running 8.2,
this didn't update anything except all the kde and related rpms to 3.1.2.
