Not really.

I have a slightly out of date manual recipe here:
http://en.opensuse.org/LXC

opensuse has nothing like febootstrap which the fedora template relies 
on. The closest they have (without using an autoinst.xml) is zypper, but 
it still requires some user interaction no matter what.
Much of the rest of the setup is different too.

I never made this into a template script because I hadn't yet decided if 
it was better to do this or do something based on an autoinst.xml 
instead. I follow this recipe myself when creating new containers if I'm 
not starting by copying a previously created container.

It could be improved though. Some steps are unnecessary wrt the network 
config files in /etc, they just satisfy yast so the container looks more 
like a regular system to an admin who might use yast not realising he's 
even in a container.
