You can set the keyboard layout directly in the slim-configuration like
this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(service slim-service-type
(slim-configuration
(xorg-configuration
(keyboard-layout keyboard-layout))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It's a good guess: I tried this a while back and it works, if there is
only one instance of slim-service-type:

If there are multiple SLiM services, it doesn't work, because "[t]here
can be only one instance of an extensible service type" (according to
'Service Types and Services' in the manual).
Because of that I believe making slim-service-type extensible would be
more confusing than useful, which is why I didn't pursue this further.
Maybe it should be mentioned in the manual that 'set-xorg-configuration'
doesn't work with SLiM?
Regards,
Diego
