I went through this too, and after asking on #suse about this suser jengelh jumped
in and rolled new packages, including kernel-rt-source and ready-to-install nvidia
drivers. His repository is at

 http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-jengelh/SUSE-10.3/

We'd be glad to hear how it behaves for you, either here or in the jacklab forums or
irc channel.
