There is a (german) tool out there by Albrecht Weiser to create a sld from an arcgis project, it used to be hosted by http://hgis-germany.de (http://web.archive.org/web/20080123212031/arcmap2sld.geoinform.fh-mainz.de/ArcMap2SLDConverter_Eng.htm) but these days it can be found at http://wald.intevation.org/projects/arcmap2sld
Some documentation is provided by vera lindsay:
How to install and use ArcMap2sld:
1. Download v1.2.2 from http://wald.intevation.org/projects/arcmap2sld
2. Download and install Microsoft .NET Framework from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=262D25E3-F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3&displaylang=en
3. Unzip Setup_ArcMap2SLDConverter_1.2.2.zip.
4. To use it open one and only one ArcMap (it lookes for all ArcGIS applications so you can't have catalogue or tools open either).
5. Run /bin/ArcGIS_SLD_Converter.exe. It will default to German so change it to English: Extras>Sprache/Language>English
6. It's prety straight forward from there (at least once you've selected English): select where to save the SLD and other options and click the SLD button on the bottom and whala! Looks like a very nice, clean formated SLD file.

Great tool, thanks
Seems people are still reading about this... Nowdays a couple of alternatives are available to create SLD from ArcGIS... For example the GeoCat Bridge tool we're developing ourselves, available at http://geocat.net, it converts any ArcMAP mxd to Geoserver-SLD, or Mapserver-Map wms-service-layers, including publishinh of metadata to a CSW Catalogue. Also check out a tool called Atlas Styler (http://en.geopublishing.org/AtlasStyler)
