Not exactly, not yet. We are currently trying to build all of the openSUSE packages for openSUSE Factory, which is where packages are pulled from for the actual distribution. We are also building all the packages for openSUSE Leap 42.2, which will be the next version of Leap. At this point, we're not creating installation repositories or ISO images for s390x. If someone were relatively enterprising they could do that themselves and things should mostly work. I would only recommend that for tire-kicking, however, at this point. In any event, openSUSE, just like Fedora or CentOS, are not commercially supported on any architecture, just community supported. I know that Sine Nomine forked CentOS to create ClefOS for s390x and will support that. I can imagine them providing support for openSUSE if there was enough demand for it. I.e., enough people willing to pay money to make it worthwhile.
