I only have a frustrating answer for you. You can of course always build the Debian packaging system (dpkg/apt) from source. That would be the most straight forward answer to what you're asking. But I would be doing you a huge disservice by not telling you why you shouldn't do that, so I'll do that for you as well. SUSE is built around RPMs and while I like dpkg better than RPM, I would never try to convert an RPM based distro to a debian based distro because they're architected differently. This is partly taken from here (archive), where there also is more Info.

Just for an overview (source in this archived page)):

• apt(-get) is a package manager for Debian + Ubuntu + Linux Mint and all Linux Distributions build in Debian

• Redhat, fedora and CentOS are using dnf/yum package manager

• ArchLinux and all distributions build in arch as Manjaro, ... use pacman package manager

• "Your" openSUSE uses zypper package manager, which is not so bad. You can consider searching for how to it.
