openSUSE 11.4 has now passed "End of Life" [1], so it is officially unsupported and will be getting increasingly difficult to get new packages for it. There is still the community-run Evergreen project [2] to keep supporting the openSUSE 11.x range, but they only appear to be doing select updates and don't include newer versions of Mono.
There are a variety of Mono versions for openSUSE (and other distros) built by official, semi-official and unofficial groups and individuals on the openSUSE Build Service (OBS) [3]. It may be possible to create an OBS account and branch one of those projects to add openSUSE 11.4 support - I've branched projects to support other versions before. The only issue is whether there are any build dependency changes. The other option is to wait a few days and upgrade to openSUSE 12.3, which will have newer and properly supported versions of just about everything! [4] The final (not recommended) option is to use one of the repositories from the list on [3] that is intended for 12.1 and see if it works. Be *very* careful, though, as you could end up with all sorts of dependency issues and massed upgrades. If you're really sure you want to do it and accept any consequences then the "Mono" project [5] would be a good choice, and they have 2.10.9. Hope that helps.
