For those interested, these are the basic modules I installed to get KDE3 up and running in 12.1 M3, M5, and (with great effort) Beta(1). The general process I used to install is covered here: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/how-faq-forums/un...

From the KDE3 Repo: HAL (also, set haldaemon on for init 2, 3, 5 in Yast>System Services) kde3-gtk-qt-engine kde3-k3b (CD/DVD burner, optional, my choice) kde3-kio_sysinfo (not available for 12.1 & onwards) kde3-knemo (network activity icons in systray, optional, my choice) kdeaddons3-konqueror kdeadmin3 kdeartwork3 kdeartwork3-kscreensaver kdeartwork3-sound kdebase3 (also need 32bit when selecting from x64 choices?) kdebase3-SuSE kdebase3-apps kdebase3-kdm (REALLY important) kdebase3-ksysguardd kdebase3-session kdebindings3 kdegames3 kdegraphics3 kdemultimedia3 kdemultimedia3-CD kdemultimedia3-mixer (this gives you your volume control applet!) kdenetwork3 kdepim3 (this gives you kmail) kdeutils3
If you have wireless, use a different mail client, or want to include your personal favourites, etc., you will want to select additional modules to install.
