You can use the procedure to install KDE3 instead of KDE4, and substitute
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/45/openSUSE_11.1/ for
the KDE3 repo.

http://en.opensuse.org/KDE3

Since you're planning to reinstall, I recommend 11.2 instead, since 11.1
doesn't have much support life left, but is much more like 11.1 than 11.3 is,
with less beta software in the base OS.
