Gnokii pointed me to Ubuntu countdown banner for Facebook and asked me if I could rework it to show openSUSE Counter instead. Unfortunately I was not able to reuse the code because it was written in Python as a plugin for Google AppEngine and I wanted something lightier. After some time I was able to come up with my own simple solution in PHP. 
Here are the steps for you:
- login to Facebook
- go to http://apps.facebook.com/opensuse-counter
- application will ask for permission to access your profile, to accept click Allow
- click Add to Profile on the following page
- click Add to confirm your choice
- you’ll be taken to your profile page where you click Keep
- enjoy openSUSE counter on your Facebook profile!
Update: When the counter seems to be stuck on 43 days, just remove and re-add the profile box.
