I have a feeling that I don't need ALL of these. How to ONLY install
FrostWire without dependencies using "zypper" command line?

opensuse 11.1 KDE4

Try using the --no-recommends flag first. Perhaps that will limit the
additional packages.

zypper is correct, the package needs everything requested.

FrostWire package manually depends of the most part of packages. If you
think any dep is unnecessary ask Packman.

The Thunderbird (libxpcom_core.so) and xulrunner181 dependencies come
from the jdic package from Packman. Perhaps the jdic package can be
created without such deps (not sure about this xpcom vs xpcom_core
thing, and perhaps xulrunner190 works)... once again, ask Packman.

So is there currently NO WAY to FORCE zypper to install FrostWire and
IGNORE all other deps???

The dependencies are apparently required. If you're determined to
install and ignore them, you can use rpm command:

rpm ivh --nodeps <URL>

but its not sensible.
