There are no special tools for package management system in Slackware. If i'm not misktaken, Swaret and Slackpkg was introduced in /extra since version 9.1 but did not install by default. Swaret then was removed from the distribution since Slackware 10.0 but is still available as a 3rd party package. Slapt-get and SlackUpdate become an alternative as a third party tools. Besides all the tools above, I found some other tools that really worth to check out, there are Slackmatic, EMERDE a port of Gentoo's package system, PortPKG similar to BSD's port, Slack-get and a new improvement for pkgtool like Spkg and Tukaani Pkgtools. I'm not try yet some of the tools above but as a Slackware lover, why not give them a try especially EMERDE and PortPKG. Here a good link for Slackware package management tools.
