In fact, I just added in YaST the Xorg repository you mentioned in one of your previous posts here and when I went to update the files I got the same dependency errors (that KDE 4.13 had dependency problems with openSUSE branding) when I upgraded to KDE 4.13.
Now, why should upgrading Xorg* files have anything to do with KDE 4. 13 and its need for have openSUSE branding files of the correct flavour? :-) You need to learn to read those dependency error messages. It will tell you exactly which modules depend on what other modules.
I don't believe there is any branding dependencies in Xorg. Well, I am not in a position to argue about this as my knowledge is

However, I can say this:
I accepted your comment that the files for Xorg in the repository-
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_1?.?/
was kosher and upgraded the files to the ones in this repo.
I spent close to 2 hours the next morning in recovering the system and bringing it back to a workable state because I could not boot into 13.1 but could only boot into level #3. Cause? Xorg* file incompatibility with the rest of KDE 4.13 system. The recovery involved downgrading the Xorg files from the repo you mentioned.
Now that I have my system back up and working I checked the system for dependency problem using the YaST option and there are no dependency problems.
I went though this as well. However it took me less than 2 hours to recover so one simple reason. My solution was to remove that repository.
Removing 'that' repository is only the first step. You then have to determine and remove the installed rpms from that repo which affect the system, right? And after realising what the problem was, using YaST2 in keyboard-mode is not a pretty sight and takes a bit of time following which you have to recompile the nVidia driver :-) . Oh, not to mention having to eat breakfast while this is being done :-) .
