As Tom suspected the SUSE build doesn't name ossp stuff, to wit:
$ pg_config
BINDIR = /usr/bin
DOCDIR = /usr/share/doc/packages/postgresql
HTMLDIR = /usr/share/doc/packages/postgresql
INCLUDEDIR = /usr/include/pgsql
PKGINCLUDEDIR = /usr/include/pgsql
INCLUDEDIR-SERVER = /usr/include/pgsql/server
LIBDIR = /usr/lib64
PKGLIBDIR = /usr/lib64/postgresql
LOCALEDIR = /usr/share/locale
MANDIR = /usr/share/man
SHAREDIR = /usr/share/postgresql
SYSCONFDIR = /usr/etc/postgresql
PGXS = /usr/lib64/postgresql/pgxs/src/makefiles/pgxs.mk
CONFIGURE = '--prefix=/usr' '--libdir=/usr/lib64' '--bindir=/usr/bin'
'--includedir=/usr/include/pgsql' '--datadir=/usr/share/postgresql'
'--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--docdir=/usr/share/doc/packages'

CC = gcc
CPPFLAGS = -D_GNU_SOURCE -I/usr/include/libxml2

VERSION = PostgreSQL 8.4.2

And I guess --without-perl explains some the machinations necessary to
get bucardo working.

Thanks to all.
