As per title, is it possible to use chroot to test build packages against a different version of Slackware? For example if I have slackware -current on my machine, instead of setting up a full virtual machine, could I have a Slackware 15.0 install in a directory, and just chroot to it to test build a package? I confess I only have a general understanding of how chroot works - so there might be a reason why this can't work.

Sure it is! :-)

You might want to give `slackrepo` a chance.
It has capability to build in chroot, exactly what you want.
