Have you tried adding this repository: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_12.3/ This is an updated Xorg which fixes tons of problems.
This seems to have solved it. We wiped the drives and started fresh again this evening. Full openSUSE 12.3/KDE4 install using defaults. Added all the community repos except NVIDIA. Updated. Added the X11 repo with a prio of 50 and switched system packages. Then added the NVIDIA repo and installed the drivers. Works perfectly now.

In your OP, the fault originated in
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/updates/extensions/libglx.so
which got me suspecting that that file might be from Mesa while you were using the nvidia driver. That combination (nvidia-driver + Mesa libglx.so (and IIRC libGL too[1])) is sure to fail.
Yes, I can see that. I guess what really threw me on this is that I've installed openSUSE 12.3 on a dozen or so machines, most with NVIDIA and have never ran into this segfaulting X thing. We followed the exact same steps (minus the extra X11 repo) and they always "just worked"... you know.. default install, add community repos (Packman, nvidia, Mozilla etc), switch system repos to Packman, run updates (which pulls in Flash, nvidia drivers etc). With my friend's machine it was insta-SPLAT. I did the exact same install on my machine last night (similar but not identical hardware) and it worked.. never had to add the X11 repo to have a stable X. The main thing is... now with the Xorg repo in there, and a higher priority everything seems to be lined up right now and my friend is having a good time discovering how configurable KDE4 can be. :-)
Oh, you got to keep that on the radar! Anytime there is a Mesa update (e.g. as a dependency, which may be more often that you'd guess) you need to reinstall the nvidia-driver afterwards!
I've never had to do this in all the time I've used openSUSE/NVIDIA.. which is pretty much forever.
And no, you can't just leave out Mesa.
