I dont know about DFBSD. I was using FreeBSD as desktop system for around 1 month. It gives the package management system called ports. That is almost equal to abs in arch linux and gentoo portage. Like arch linux, freebsd also provides binary packages. Once you install desktop system like gnome or kde, all the BSD/Linux act as same. But the difference comes when you move to command line. I guess FreeBSD and DFBSD will provide almost same command line environment. There is a package in FreeBSD that will provide linux binary compatibility and all other stuff needed to get the Linux environment.
Since you are asking for desktop system, I will say they are same, since you are going to use same desktop system on both slackware and BSD.
