@0xDEADBEEF If I'm not mistaken, @ParadeGrotesque might be able to help you with that. He recently installed QEMU 9.0.0 on Slackware.
Side note: I have 3 VMs running on my server at all times: NetBSD, OpenBSD and Debian. Uptime is measured in weeks or more. Uptime of the Slackware server is about 70+ days right now.
I also run a Slackware 15 VM, but this one I only switch on from time to time.
VNC also works and it is possible to both SSH and VNC into VMs with this setup.

KVM is in the stock "huge" kernel on Slackware.
Compiling qemu 9.0.0 on Slackware 15 is just a matter of running "./configure ; make ; make install" and it compiles everything.
The only dependency of qemu is libslirp if you want user mode networking, that you can get from: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/slirp/libslirp
Again, compiling libslirp is just a matter of "./configure ; make ; make install".
Run your VMs with '-accel kvm' and you should be OK.
Hope this helps!
