I tried a suggestion on the SuSE forums to issue an yast -i

(prefer to let Yast handle it) issuing an rpm command, but perhaps I
should try that?

You should definitely try it. Just issue
rpm -Uvh --oldpackage freeglut-2.2.0-83.i586.rpm

The options mean:
-U upgrade an existing package
-v verbose
-h print a nice progress bar while installing
--oldpackage install even if it is an older package

Using yast will not work, because you are actually downgrading, which is something normally only users do, that are already comfortable with the system and know what they are doing.
