Not with slackware 14.1 and I suspect not with slackware_current either
but you could write volkerdi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and ask what the
accessibility status is of slackware_current there may be a software
speech capability in it by now but I doubt it. I've read no news on
this from slackware.com on their website and I suppose it's possible
slackware.com could have given up on providing accessibility but I
haven't read that either so don't quote me on that. If slackware ever
gets to a point it can work with a kickstart file though maybe many more
things will become possible.
One website I read a while back had instructions for installing
emacspeak as a screen reader environment and making a talking login
prompt.
Slackware does have an initialization file where boot up commands can be
put once an iso gets put on a hard drive opened up edited then burnt to
dvd again but you'd have to have commands you could put into it to get
speech going. I don't know if yasr can run a sound card, but if it can
and you can come up with the commands that might be a possibility.
Other thing you might try is searching slackbuilds.org for kickstart and
see if anyone made a script to build it on slackware.

Subject: Installing Slackware Without Hardware Synthesizer
Hi all,
I do not have a hardware synthesizer. Do I have any other options for performing an install of Slackware that do not involve me finding a sighted person to install it for me?
Thanks,
