Why do you want to do that. RPM are not quite good for debian, because, the
directory-structure under debian and suse are different.

I don't think, it is a good idea to install yast from suse on debian.

You are able to install nics quite easy.
You have to edit /etc/network/interfaces, you have to put there youre IP, IP
of the gateway, submask ... and then only a "ifconfig eth0" will initialize
your NICS. (Have a look in the manuals)

For me, it is a bit faster as yast :-)
