I'm really not an expert on this topic, but as nobody else has responded I'll offer what I can. While the huge kernel does contain the speakup drivers, neither espeak, nor espeakup programs are included in Slackware. Therefore, it looks like speakup support in Slackware is only useful for those with a speakup supported hardware voice synth.
Both espeak and espeakup are available from slackbuilds.org, but they're going to require fetching, building and installing before speakup will be able to send words to them.
