More information never hurts :-)

It shouldn't be a problem, at least not from openSUSE side. 

I use often console tool zypper to add repo (as root):
  zypper ar <path_to_directory_with_rpm_files> <short_repo_name>
  zypper ref

After above you can use either zypper or YaST and install whatever you want. 
For short help:
  zypper --help
  zypper <command> --help
in particular
  zypper ar --help

More info with
  man zypper
