Yes, definately.
YOU, YaST2, smart, y2pmsh, apt-rpm, yum only look for package names and version
numbers. They don't
care where the package "comes from".
If your SLICK kernel package is called kernel-default-2.6.13-15.ck and Novell
puts up a newer kernel
version (e.g. kernel-default-2.6.13.1-... or kernel-default-2.6.14-...) or a
newer kernel package
release (e.g. kernel-default-2.6.13-16), then it will be upgraded ("stepped
on", as you wrote).
But that's not necessarely a bad thing, as you get the security or bug fixes,
which is much more
important than the 5% of performance you gain from the few additional CK
patches in the SLICK kernel
(the SUSE Linux kernel already has around 80% of the CK patches included
anyway).
And as soon as someone from the SLICK team puts up an updated SLICK kernel (e.g.
kernel-default-2.6.13.1-92 for SUSE Linux => kernel-default-2.6.13-92.slick for
SLICK) that includes
the fixes from Novell's package, it will be updated again (but using
YaST2/smart/yum/apt instead of
YOU).
