Just curious. Wasn't it the case that when a kernel update was done for openSUSE, eventually a new nvidia rpm that matches would make an appearance? Was that the case? If so, is it still the case?
As long as the ABI stays stable and bug fixing doesn't require an update the weak update mechanism handle this. As the result the /lib/modules/3.1.9-*/weak-updates/updates/nvidia.ko sym link points to /lib/modules/3.1.0-1.2-default/updates/nvidia.ko for example in the case you're runnig your system with the default kernel flavour.
