Not by default. The main question would be on styling for them in Slate - the current button style of link doesn't really lend itself to a dropdown menu I would say.
I would say style them similar to what is available in Acquia Marina. It wouldn't seem that tabs and drop downs are that compatible, but they seem to work fine. Perhaps a user choice...
I also would like nice drop-down menus for a better functionality.
I am sure you would find an elegant design for it. That would be a great enhancement for this stunning, awesome theme.
I'd love drop-downs, similar to Acquia Marina, but I'm not sure where they'd go with the theme as it is currently. My suggestion would be to move the default "Primary Links" region to below the header so the drop downs could drop into the large image on the front page. This could end up looking similar to the "front preface sidebar" region, just shifting horizontally under each separate menu heading.
I wanted this too so I copied the styles from Acquia Marina's style.css, copied the slightly different call to $primary_links from page.tpl.php and that's all that needs to be done to get the technology. Acquia Slate's template.php already includes the part for the primary_links_tree. You just need to do some styling but it works.
