For a Saab 900, technically, the rear seal is in the *front* of the engine. If this is what you're talking about AND the car has a *manual* transmission, then it can be replaced without too much trouble (clutch must come out). If, on the other hand, the car is an automatic, then the engine must come out.
If what you are describing is the front crank seal at what is, technically, the front of the engine but located just ahead of the firewall, then it will probably cost you ~$500 (that's about what I paid before I was dumb enough to start working on my own cars) at a good indie shop, which will not only replace the crank seal but the crank pulley and oil pump seal. The pulleys have rubber in them, get contaminated, and die.
