First I am a bit surprised that you use a kernel coming from gentoo on Slackware 12.2.

I would suggest you configure, compile and install a vanilla 2.6.39-rc7 (as of today) kernel,
re-using one of the .config files available in a slackware-13.37 mirror, in the directory
/slackware-13.37-mirror/testing/source/linux-2.6.39-rc4-configs

In of of these you'll get e.g. :

bash-4.1$ grep DRM config-generic-smp-2.6.39-rc4-smp
CONFIG_DRM=m
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=m
CONFIG_DRM_TTM=m
...
CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU=m
CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU_BACKLIGHT=y
CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU_DEBUG=y
...

Please note that all drivers are modularized, though I don't know if that really matters.

Then, I suggest that you re-use the SlackBuilds available in:
/slackware-13.37-mirror/testing/source
to build Slackware package(s) for recent (but not git) version(s) of (mesa and) libdrm, i.e. lindrm-24.25 and mesa-7.10.2.

If this work (which I am not sure at all as the other components of the X stack and the libraries are pretty old in slackware-12.2),
you will be able to build xf86-video-nouveau-git_20110417_8378443 the same way.

PS Out of curiosity, why put a very recent X stack on top of a very old distribution?
