Easily, no, but it can be done. The Dropline GNOME project does it, but it's clearly a lot of work if you want to go past just the util-linux package. > I have built and installed packages for sasl, openldap, > and nss. > > Can I do ldap authentication with NSS alone?

I'm not aware of anyone that's done this for Slack/390. As I mentioned, Dropline does this for Slackware. You can download their build system from http://sourceforge.net/projects/dropline-gnome/ which includes the scripts they use to compile the various packages.
