Yes. If you are using RPM directly, call SuSEconfig.

Well, YAST_IS_RUNNING is not implemented in most packages.

Implementing it to packages would make zypper installation much slower
than YaST and will require following change in ~500 packages (including
KDE, XFCE and other non-GTK+ desktop applications...):

%posttrans
if test -t "$YAST_IS_RUNNING" ; then
    if test -f /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache ; then
        /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache
    fi
    if test -f /usr/bin/update-desktop-database ; then
        /usr/bin/update-desktop-database
    fi
fi
