No, there no easy way to do that. First you'll have to export the slideshow as a Quicktime movie. It will be pretty large if you have any transitions, music, etc.
In order to make it small enough to email you'll have to reduce its size with an application like Quicktime Pro or VisualHub. In getting down to a reasonable size for emailing you'll have to reduce the window size and quality level quite a bit. Lots of work for that. If you have a .Mac account you could upload it to your Public folder and then let the recipient download from there at their leisure.

Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
