If we look at the Dutch, the French, The English and the Americans... then yes I think we can say that there were Christians involved in the slave trade. The majority of them would have been Christian (or Catholic which is a Christian denomination).
For the most part... ones religeous conviction didn't in any way hinder someone from being involved in the slave trade.
There are people who've argued that in fact certain religions (Judaism and Islam) have tennets that predispose them to slavery. Whether or not that's all together accurate I can't say.
