sliding mate
You can do so by creating a couple of configurations where pin would be in two extreme points of the slot. Or use a line between two pionts of the slot and one of the planes of the pin.

Size Matters.... especially if you're a saw....
Here is a solution that can only be applied to a part file: In custom properties create a stock size field that would be driven by nominal dimensions of the part.

Bad Slot, Bad..... No donuts (or Hex Nuts)!
The easiest way to make a slot on a single part that I found is to use slot under tools- feature palette - palette fetures - machined... There is also a curved slot. For mating you should consider using scetches. I modify the scetch of the slot by adding a couple of points. These new points will...- JahnEng
