This is what I have in my fstab:

procfs /emul/linux/proc procfs rw,linux

where /emul/linux is a symlink to /usr/pkg/emul/linux

And this is my ~/.profile:

ulimit -d 262144
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/pkg/java/sun-1.4
PATH=$HOME/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/pkg/bin
PATH=${PATH}:/usr/pkg/sbin:/usr/games:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$JAVA_HOME/bin

Also I had to install the following packages to get java working:

suse_base-7.3nb5    Linux compatibility package
suse_compat-7.3     Linux compatibility package with old shared libraries
suse_x11-7.3nb2     Linux compatibility package for X11 binaries
sun-jre14-2.5       Sun's Java(tm) 2 Runtime Environment 1.4.2
sun-jdk14-2.5       Sun's Java(tm) 2 SDK, Standard Edition 1.4.2
