How can I fetch all the updates required for both boxes once without
having to become a repository and download everything--which would far
exceed isp's limits. This would probably be some sort of proxy agent
that can read the installed database for each box then fetch each
package once and only once for both boxes. Is there yet a utility to
do that?

This was a feature of Yast some versions back, but it has been lost. I believe that zypper can store permanently downloaded packages somewhere, but I don't recall how. I think this could be used to to the update first in one computer, copy over the downloaded rpms to the other machine, then run zypper again on that.

The zypper manual doesn't mention this :-?
