[opensuse] Where can I get instructions for compiling VirtualBox?

I've been trying out Virtualbox under Windows, and it works very well (I have one of those stupid uninstallable xp "recovery" packages on my old laptop). I now have a nice new 64-bit desktop system with Intel vt-x and vt-d, but my installable xp package is only 32-bit, and won't allow me to install a 64-bit guest. I'd like to install xp under my 64-bit suse environment, but suse is stuck at VB 4.1.4, and VB is up to 4.1.18. The download site has 4.1.18 for OS 11.4, but I'm at 12.1. I downloaded the VB 4.1.18 bz2 package, but I can't find any instructions for installing from source, and they use something called "kmake", still without any instructions that I can find.
I guess I have four questions:
-will the 11.4. rpm work well with 12.1?
-If not, is VB4.1.18 significantly better than 4.1.4?
-if so, are there instructions an ordinary mortal can follow to get 4.1.18 into my 12.1 system?
-if not, can I do anything besides just installing 32-bit OS 12.1 under my 32-bit xp system on my 64-bit computer?
Thanks,
John Perry
