OK, the story so far......

rpm -Uvh *
reported that missing dependencies were
libjack.so.0

so I persevered with YaST eventually found a suitable mirror address at
http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.
1/yast-source/

and then choosing, in YaST, "System Update" (not "Install and Remove
Software")

but that reports the same dependency problem.

Crank up YOU and point it to the supplementary directory for 9.1, on any
suitable mirror. Note that the supplementary tree is officially
unsupported. Call it SuSE testing. Subscribe to suse-kde (mailing lists
page on SuSE's website) for problems which have already been solved.

The -F restricts package installation to those which are already
installed, i.e. you use for installing updates. Not a good idea here,
because if the package names for kde 3.3 have changed or there are new
ones then you're missing out, getting a problematic system.
