No problem. That is why this list exists. To get hte answer to
questions.

> Firstly, I'm using Gnopernicus 0.10.4-4 and I'm sure there have been improvements made since it was packaged with SuSE 9.3.  What is the latest version and is it possible to download it from http or ftp? Unfortunately I'm behind a firewall which doesn't allow downloading from CVS.

Yes. the latest version I believe is 0.11. You can get all update
sources from:
ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gnopernicus

Orka is cvs only I believe. Although, I am sure someone can tarball the
source for you if you want.

I am going to be rolling some rpms for Mandriva soon which won't help in
your case probably, but you are welcome to them if I get around to
rolling the packages.
What I would do in your case is get the rpm spec files from suse for
gnopernicus, Mozilla, etc and modify them to reflect the newer versions 
and then run rpm-build on them to make the new packages.
