This is generally not true for openSUSE.

There are repositories for the very latest GNOME [3.8.x], that includes
the latest and greatest Evolution and other related GNOME apps.  And the
newer ones are *notably* better.  Quality has improved amazingly in
recent versions.

GNOME 3.8  
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/STABLE:/3.8/openSUSE_12.3

To add a repo is just "zypper ar {URL} {NAME}".  Then you can "zypper
dup --from {NAME}" to move to the packages offered by that repo.

For LibreOffice there is an unstable repo

zypper ar
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/LibreOffice:/Unstable/openSUSE_12.3/ 
LibreOffice-Unstable
zypper dup --from LibreOffice-Unstable

This provides LibreOffice 4.1
