CA have added support for RHEL5, SUSE 10 in November this year. They are

I have not tested this yet though. Planning to do this during xmas.

There is a command-line updater on my system (RHEL3):
/opt/CA/SharedComponents/ScanEngine/bin/ITMDist -update
/opt/CA/SharedComponents/ScanEngine/bin/InoDist.ini
