It hasn't changed that much (depending on how far back we go) -

install the kernel-source - zypper in kernel-source
cd /usr/src/linux
make oldconfig  (to get the current config from /proc/config.gz)
make menuconfig (to make the changes you want)
make
make modules_install
make install

(update your bootloader).
