As Christos pointed out,the other way round is more promising - 
install the v9.1 or v10 version of suse_base, then suse_devel. Since 
suse_devel is happy with the 7.3 packages, it will trigger their 
installation unless you set a make(1) variable to require a newer 
suse_* revision (see {pkgsrc}/mk/defaults/mk.conf).

Note that 
http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=30784 may 
still apply. I keep around a suse_devel package from the 
pkgsrc-2004Q2 branch which works.
