Steve, Elecraft uses control pots with black plastic shafts. They sell replacements, though perhaps only to kit purchasers. Elecraft buys from ordinary distributors so these pots are still available. As I recall these types did not have screwdriver slots but you could cut that yourself.
Another idea is to use conventional metal shaft pots designed for screw adjustment such as made by Allen Bradley years ago. Our junk boxes are full of them. You could wrap the shaft in black tape for insulation and color match, then use a Sharpie to blacken the exposed slotted tip. Or maybe just spray the shaft with a couple of coats of enamel. From a distance, it should look close to stock.
