I looked at the 7.3 box I have, I don't see anything obvious under yast2.  But 
yast2 detects your terminal and will use curses if you're on a tty - no X 
required.  I tried to run it through an ssh X forward with no luck.

Take a look at init.d(7) and insserv(8).  Not quite what you're looking for, 
but may help.

Of course you can always look at the links in rc.d and the scripts in init.d.
