I do find an OpenSuSE rpm, apparently appropriate for my architecture.
In general, would I be better off using a non-native RPM or compiling it

The optimal solution here would be for you to take the OpenSuSE source

Fedora Packaging Guidelines[1] and then submit it for package review[2]
in Fedora. That way others can use this tool as well.
