One way to randomize order of an iPhoto slideshow
Authored by: jDeppen on Sat, Mar 7 2009 at 5:12PM PST

The script works fine in iPhoto '09. I ran it a few times to be sure it was random.

Just make sure you create an empty library, then drag in your photos. Delete all photos in the slideshow if you already created it. I had 2 Events so I merged them to one because it didn't seem to really randomize.
Run the script, sort by title (View -> Sort Photos -> By Title), then just drag all the photos to the newly created slideshow.
