For openSUSE you can find RPM packages of both simulators through:

http://software.opensuse.org/search

Both packages have source packages available and I believe it should be 
fairly simple to use those and compile a package for a different 
distribution.

Although I did create the ghdl package, I only tested it with a simple 
VHDL example. So I cannot comment on how feature rich it is.

Before creating the RPM I had installed it from source on one of my 
computers. What I always found to be a hassle to figure out is to get 
the correct version of ADA compiler.
