I use urpmi all the time. It comes close to apt-get in it's functionality.

Take a look at man pages for:

urpmi  - install/update software
urpmi.addmedia  - add new source download locations
urpmi.removemedia  - remove source download locations

If you want to do something similar to
apt-get update

that would be
urpmi --auto-select

Hope that helps!
