Thanks everybody for the feedback.  I've appended the following to my ~/.vimrc:

---
" Options for SlackBuilds
autocmd BufEnter,BufNew *.info call CheckSlackBuildInfo()
function CheckSlackBuildInfo()
	if filereadable(expand('%:p:r'). '.SlackBuild')
		setlocal filetype=sh
	endif
endfunction
autocmd BufEnter,BufNew *.SlackBuild call SetSlackBuildType()
function SetSlackBuildType()
	setlocal filetype=sh
	setlocal expandtab
	setlocal tabstop=2
	setlocal shiftwidth=2
endfunction
