In the old days, we used the "poster" commandline tool in the KDE3 print dialog to do this, but that only supports Postscript files. It's still available in the main repo.

There is also pdfposter (http://software.opensuse.org/package/pdfposter) which does the same for PDF's.
Somehow I did not succeed with this one.
For a GUI you can try KPrinter4 (http://software.opensuse.org/package/kprinter4).
Didn't know of it.
PosterRazer also appears to be another option (http://software.opensuse.org/package/PosteRazor).
This one worked good, it is what I finally used. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
