Never tested, but I suspect it requires strong modifications on startup/services scripts.
If your purpose is just to make Slack boot faster, you could try this

It works fine for me, apart some little modifications on /etc/rc.d/rc.S to get the system booting correctly.
I think latest releases already provide those minor bug fixes.
