Are there any issues with slipstreaming OEM versions of Windows XP? I
heard that this is not possible in some cases.

What is it you have heard?
If it is a plain Windows XP OEM - not BIOS locked or very very customized -
you shoul dhave no trouble integrating the Service Packs and post-service
pack updates.

Thats great. How do I integtrate the post service pack updates?
I don't even know how to download a comprehensive set of post service
pack updates. I am guessing that there is a link to this.

Are there any physical differences between an OEM version and the
retail version? One thng that I heard is that on OEM version must
always be a clean install from a newly formatted disk.
