It's not, as of now.
Christoph Thiel has sent the YaST2 repository specs to Gustavo Niemeyer, the 
smart maintainer.
But I don't know whether he'll have the time to code it. Gustavo is currently 
away for one or two
weeks, but I'll ask him as soon as he's back on IRC.

Maybe we could make that a request on the smart bugtracker, and we all go vote 
for it ;)

There are obviously more YaST2 repositories for the SUSE Linux packages (i.e. 
the core distro) than
APT repositories, see all the mirrors that just rsync download.opensuse.org
Nevertheless, for 10.0, you can also use rpm-md (yum) repositories as they're 
part of the "official"
core distribution repositories (it's that "repodata" subdirectory) and, hence, 
mirrored everywhere.

Note that smart seems to have some rpm-md issues as of 0.40. Not for everyone, 
but a few people
experience it. If you can choose between an apt-rpm or an rpm-md/yum repository 
format, go for apt-rpm.

cheers
