At the minute, Smart is by far the most reliable and easily-installed package 
manager for SUSE.  Apt-rpm may do more specialised things, but for everyday 
users, just install Smart and you'll find things very easy.

You need to have the following Python packages installed:
python-numeric
rpm-python
python-gtk
These are available at:
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source/suse/i586
(or similar, eg replace 10.0 with 10.1, i586 with your architecture, etc) if 
you do not have them on your install media.

Then install smart, smart-gui and (optionally) smart-ksmarttray from Pascal's 
site:
http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/suser-guru/rpm/packages/System/smart/
as he suggested.

Pascal is doing a terrific job with Smart, as Richard Bos does with apt-rpm.
