You could use a third party package management tool and run it as a
cron job; I personally wouldn't do that, but it's an option.

You could download all patches to a shared directory and set cron on
each machine to 'upgradepkg /shared_directory/*.tgz' every day.

If I remember correctly, someone on ##slackware (freenode) has written
an rsync script to do what you want - you might consider checking on
that...
