Since you say 'i' I assume you're looking at the text based version of YaST.
In the GUI version of YaST, if you right click on the icon you can select to
install it. In the text based version I'm not quite sure what the procedure
is, I don't use it all that much
From the command line, if you have the rpm, you can do
rpm -e --nodeps xorg-x11-libs
followed by
rpm -ivh <file name>
where <file name> is the complete file name, complete with version number
and .i586.rpm. (note that you don't need this in the rpm -e command, there
you only need the base name of the rpm)
