To connect any controller to a PS3 first plug in a USB cable to the controller. Connect this cable to the PS3 you want to connect the controller to. Press the PS button and the controller will connect.
As long as the controller plug will fit into the plug-in on your game system, then yes.
There are no controller "slots" on the PS3. All of the controllers are wireless and are automatically mapped to which "slot" it is in depending on order of controller activation. To plug the controllers into a "slot" you could plug them into the USB ports, but this is not necessary unless you are charging your controller.
