It depends what Kernel:stable really is. Its kernel-source likely close
to openSUSE:Factory. So it should be possible to grab the kmp from the
PMBS Factory repo. Right now its this pkg:

http://packman.inode.at/suse/Factory/Essentials/x86_64/broadcom-wl-kmp-default-6.30.223.248_k4.5.4_1-8.53.x86_64.rpm

If all else fails we can swith the Factory repo from 
<path project="openSUSE.org:openSUSE:Factory" repository="standard"/>
to
<path project="openSUSE.org:Kernel:stable" repository="standard"/>

Not sure if this would also inherit the 'rebuild="local" block="local"'
knobs from OBS. But since Factory is a compile-test-only repo anyway it
would not matter much for PMBS.
