Hi Matt,
Sorry for not replying.
There are two ways of doing this.

1 - simple and easy, no real descriptions, just marking packages as 
security or fastbugs.
That should be easy enough by going through the SL yum repo's.

2 - Having all the detail for each errata.
For that you need to have a current RHEL machine and an account on rhn.
You download the errata metadata, convert it to whatever you want (if 
it's your personal spacewalk, I suspect you don't need to convert much) 
and then push it up onto your spacewalk server.
