Or get an ISP that provides an unmetered mirror?

    $ rsync mirror.internode.on.net:: | grep -i suse
    opensuse        OpenSuse

Or download the equivalent of Debian's mini.iso (~20MB) then only
download the packages you actually use, rather than gigabytes of DVD?

(To be fair, last time I looked the closest equivalent to mini.iso that
CentOS had was about 200MB of ext2, and I guess SUSE is the same.)

At a glance, the magic appears to be in here (320MB total):

    
mirror.internode.on.net::opensuse/distribution/openSUSE-current/repo/oss/boot/x86_64/

Doesn't look like they prepare turnkey mini.isos, though :-/
And it looks like they use YaST2, not anaconda, so I can't help much.

I got this far before losing interest;
you'll probably need to consult the docs.

    qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel loader/linux \
                       -initrd loader/initrd \
                       -append 'splash=silent showopts edd=off'
