I have kolab 2.2.0 running on an openSUSE 10.3 system as well, so we're in the 
same boat.  I'm not thinking about a upgrade yet, as a lot of functionality is 
still to be tested.  I would say get another openSUSE 10.3 system up and 
running with kolab 2.2.0 in e.g. virtual box.  Use that image to exercise the 
upgrade.

The big difference between kolab on openSUSE 10.3 and 11.1 will be the 
openldap replication mode.  This must change from slurpd to syncrepl.  This is 
working nicely.  The data does not need to change I believe, so as long as all 
data is backed up you should be fine.
