These days (speaking of SLE10), the kernel packages have the symlinks into /usr/src/, and all you really need is the kernel-source RPM, and your own code, to build kernel modules. I haven't really tried to build a whole kernel recently, but I believe it just requires a "make somekindofconfig" followed by "make image" with an optional "make modules".
