How can I do Kernel updates but keep the old kernel as an option in
the GRUB menu? I just looked at systems recently updated and in /boot
all the files for the previous kernel are no longer there.

I used yum or smart for older SUSE products (pre 11.1).

For the zypper approach as it is in 11.1 and newer see the multiversion
setting in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf Here you define which packages are
allowed to be installed multiple times.
