Hi, it should be no problem, just do a copy of the partition opensuse is installed on, plug it into your machine and run.
I suggest you do this with the dd command (dd if=/original/partition of=/destination/partition) and don't forget the /boot partition if there is one.
Some device specific settings may need to be modified accordingly; partitions in /etc/fstab or network configuration comes to mind.
You WILL need to install a bootloader (GRUB) by hand though, and might need to force a kernel ramdisk rebuild (that would be necessary on Arch, I don't know how opensuse manages the kernel at boot).
However, I don't recommend this unless you are ready for some console work/strange issue working out; the freely available install CDs exist for a reason...
