I believe the policy is to support for 2 years after the product's release 
date.

I found these references:

http://en.opensuse.org/Frequently_Asked_Questions#What_is_the_security_update_life_cycle_for_SUSE_Linux.3F

If you have being using the repository to keep your 9.1 up to date, then 
upgrading should be fairly straightforward I think?
