SuSE 9.2 has the openafs client in its distribution.
After running YOU you also schould get a working version.
You should run it with -memcache to avoid the bug which fills
up the cache partition, I think it's not corrected there.
I replaced in /etc/sysconfig/afs-client the following:

XXLARGE="-stat 4000 -daemons 6 -volumes 256 -fakestat -blocks 262144"
XLARGE="-stat 3600 -daemons 5 -volumes 196 -fakestat -blocks 133072"
LARGE="-stat 2800 -daemons 5 -volumes 128 -fakestat -blocks 65536"
MEDIUM="-stat 2000 -daemons 3 -volumes 70 -fakestat -blocks 32768"
SMALL="-stat 300 -daemons 2 -volumes 50 -fakestat -blocks 16384"

MEMCACHE="yes"

You may also add -chunksize 20 if you have enough memory because it 
makes the client much faster (otherwise it does an rpc for each 8 K
for read).
