I would not suggest it. If you are looking for the emerge tool, that is avalible to Slackware. I think I wrote a post about it.

Emerde is the name. Bit creaky when I tried it on slackware.

ditto, i tried emerde, and had alot of broken compiles, and it was difficult to fix them becasue of the ebuilds, i ended up figuring i might as well switch to gentoo.
