Are the Gibeonites still slaves to the Israelites today?

The Gibeonites were slaves by choice at least when the book of Joshua was written. Joshua 9:27. They were still under Israel's promise by 2 Samuel21:1-14, and had to be avenged. We see them come back out of Israel's Captivity in Nehemiah 7:25, presumably not as slaves any longer, probably having mixed in with the Israelites.
