How do I downgrade to 4.2.1 from 4.2.67?

In YaST->Software management:

First remove the KDE:/KDE4:/UNSTABLE repository and add the
KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/ repository

Then select one of the core kde packages, such as libkde4, go to the Versions
tab and select the proper 4.2.1

This should pull in all the other 4.2.1 packages as dependencies. But just in
case, go through the list and make sure there are no packages highlighted in
red that aren't selected for "upgrade". If there are any, select the proper
version for them as well

It's more work than an upgrade, but package managers generally aren't
optimized for downgrades
