Interesting, I'm not sure how that would work.  You can install a
pattern simply by adding the '-t pattern', but when you try to remove
it, it says 'Uninstallation of a pattern is currently not defined and
implemented.'  (SLES11) And when trying to upgrade it, even when you
supply the -t pattern, it tries to upgrade the package (appears to be
yet-another-zypper-bug).  Novell seems to be rife with those.

In any case, it's simple to implement for installation, but I don't
have confidence that upgrading or removing a pattern would work at
all.

Zypper in 0.25.x is non-existent until this patch (Bug #1223) is
applied, but you can take my lib/puppet/provider/package/zypper.rb
file from my branch (mentioned in a previous post) and use it as a
plugin in your environment and it should work fine with provider =>
zypper in your manifests.
