AFAIK the suse tools will manage the suse nvidia packages, which are built for the suse kernels - but if you're using the -rt kernel, you're going to be downloading the driver from nvidia.com and doing a manual install. Also, IIRC there are ways to build for a kernel you're not running, you'd have to run the nvidia installer with the help option to get the exact syntax needed, as I've never done that, but only remember seeing something about it in the nvidia installer options.
