That's what I do. I have a desktop and a laptop both running the same version of Slackware. I usually make the Slackware packages (either from SlackBuild scripts or using src2pkg) on the desktop and then copy them to the laptop. Use installpkg or upgradepkg to install them and you'll be ready to go.
If you've got both computers running at the same time, and they're connected, you could potentially use rsync to synchronize the two versions of your home directories.
