Say one is thinking about making a five color sliver deck... How much mana of each color would one aim to have in said sliver deck?
It depends on how much you want to spend, and which slivers you are playing. In a perfect world you would probably want 4x {Cavern of Souls}, 4x {Sliver Hive}, fetchlands, and ABUR duals, but if you post a list and budget, I'm sure there is a more budget friendly way to do it with basics and Khans Refuges.

I have 1 sliver hive already and the other three I could easily obtain. Never heard of cavern of souls tho, that seems like a pretty legit card. I have a couple high mana cards-high being 5+- like {groundshaker sliver} and {sliver hivelord}, so how much lands should I have total? Should I keep the basic 24 lands? More? Less?
{Ancient Ziggurat}
So a total of like, 30ish lands? 4 {cavern of souls} 4 {sliver hives} a couple {ancient ziggurats} and like 4 of each basic land (too poor for fetches )
30 lands is definitely not needed in a creature heavy deck.
23-24 lands should work
4 Cavern
4 Ziggurat
4 Sliver Hive
Then there's the pain lands ex: {Yavimaya Coast}
Shock Lands ex: {Steam Vents}
Filter lands ex: {Fetid Heath}
Check Lands ex: {Hinterland harbor}
Fast lands ex: {Darkslick shores}

Time to save some money :S
If you are playing {Syphon Sliver}, you could play {City of Brass} and/or {Mana Confluence}.
Thanks Munch, blanked on the name of the lifelink sliver.
Or {Syphon Sliver}
Is it generally accepted that you run 4 {manaweft sliver} in an all color sliver deck?

This^
All slivers deck must have:
{Crystalline Sliver} and {Harmonic Sliver}
Between {manaweft sliver} and {gemhide sliver} you shouldn't have a lot of problems. You can run 4 {ancient ziggurats} (they're cheap) 4 {sliver hive} and the rest just basics. If you can afford {cavern of souls} that's pretty wicked too. 4 of definately ideal
{Constricting Sliver}. Ouch.
{Garruk Caller of Beasts} and {Domri Rade} for card draw
{Blur Sliver} is absurd and {Prophet or Kruphix} is hilariously good.
What about {Homing Sliver} Because it's a damn good card
