From my understanding, in OBS, all the dependencies should be available at the building step because it works without a network connection. Consequently, I would need to upload CUDA RPM to openSUSE's OBS, but it is not allowed because it's not compliant with the OSI.

I am not on top of the redistribution rights of the CUDA Tooklit SLA,
but in 1.1.2 Distribution Requirements, 1. "material additional
functionality" is requested. Also in 1.1.6. Components Under Other
Licenses, the possible existence of components with separate terms is
mentioned. These components may disallow redistribution.

Nevertheless, we do not export user's home project, so you cannot
publish anything from your home project.

I do not think that OBS allows reference to projects from remote build
service instances. Anyhow, I myself had trouble using PMBS projects in a
private build services instance, probably due to a PMBS configuration
shortcoming, so I am pretty sure my answer to your question is also: no.
