Is there a way to install
suse/i586/java-1_6_0-sun-1.6.0.u6-8.1.i586.rpm alongsite
suse/x86_64/java-1_6_0-sun-1.6.0.u6-8.1.x86_64.rpm?

I guess I can unpack the RPM and install the files, for example
through rpm2cpio. Would that work, and more importantly would it work
without getting into trouble with automatic updates, etc.?

AFAIK, Java is always 32-bit even on openSUSE x86-64. Sun never ported
it to 64-bit.

I guess your info is outdated:

gollem (~) 5_> file
/usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.u6/jre/lib/amd64/libjava.so
/usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.u6/jre/lib/amd64/libjava.so: ELF

Generally, SuSe installs/updates both 32 and 64bit libraries. So, if you
need the java libraries use YaST or zypper to install the JAVA libraries
and resolve dependencies.

zypper search java

if needed
zypper install non-oss-java-32bit
.
