I think there are issues with SuSE that are very dependent on _exactly_ which version you're using, and from what source.

Is it possible to run yast from the cli and have it update everything available, the way one can with up2date -uf on Red Hat?
Sure it's possible. You can see it all graphically by running 'yast online_update', which launches the curses based online update module.
Does this really work with the downloaded versions of 9.x? The install option doesn't work as documented, I'd be surprised if this does.
SuSE offers the latest Gnome, KDE, and X.org packages in their supplementary tree on their FTP site.
BE WARNED: There have been SERIOUS issues with these packages being corrupt, badly built, and with suites such as KDE not being correctly distributed to all of the mirrors.
I was very encouraged about SuSE's future when Novell hosted 9.0 on their very solid FTP servers, but it's still 9.0 - so much for progress.
