The intel compiler support slotted installation, but they only install one env.d file. So the slotting is of no need.

Here what sebastien says:

The initial idea was to indeed maintain a
eselect-icc that could easily switch between versions.
The work to do on the Intel stuff is the following.  dev-lang/icc,
dev-lang/ifc, dev-lang/idb, sci-libs/mkl,
sci-libs/ipp and may be dev-cpp/tbb would have to be slotted
simultaneously with probably a common eselect mechanism.
The thing to do might be to not install the 35intelsdp, and have an
eselect intel module that will link shell scripts to a /etc/profile.d/
So we also avoid env variables pollution, and users could source it [1]
