Slackware is not only ready for the 2.6 kernel theres a prebuild kernel
2.6.13 ready to download from the /testing tree.

Warning: If you are using another kernel than the default kernel bare.i
then installing kernel-2.6.13 will overwrite kernel-2.4.31

Find your nearest mirror here:
<URL: http://www.slackware.com/getslack/>

Remember to read this file README.initrd, you'll find it in the same
directory as the kernelpackages.
