Here are the Suse repos. download the srcrpm, install it as normal user with 
rpm -ivh package.srm and you should get the source into a SOURCE directory and 
the Spec file into the SPEC directory
somemething like 
/home/user/rpm/SOURCE 
and 
/home/user/rpm/SPEC
Download the new source tarball fom the kolab repo into the SOURCE directory, 
alter the spec file accordingly and try to build the package. Someone using 
SUSE may can provide more detailed advice.

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/Kolab:/UNSTABLE/openSUSE_Snapshot/src/

Maybe if you ask nicely, Richard Bos will help.
