Sure.  My main machine (osiris, my K6) started life as a 386SX/16
running Slackware 2.0.  I've managed to kill off most of the remains
of Slackware, but there still are a few...

osiris:~$ file /usr/games/tt
/usr/games/tt: setgid Linux/i386 impure executable (OMAGIC), stripped
osiris:~$ ls -l /usr/games/tt
-r-xr-sr-x   1 root     bin         12032 Nov 24  1993 /usr/games/tt*

(Don't ask me why that's setgid bin.  I have no clue.  I'll be fixing
that ASAP.  :)

Anyway, the machine looks like Red Hat 5.1 now...

osiris:~$ rpm -q redhat-release
redhat-release-5.1-2

So rpm-izing a Slackware box works nicely.  :-)
