My friend wants to start up an EVE Online account to play with me but his internet is pretty slow. I was wondering if there was a way for me to package up my client and stick it on a flash drive for him to avoid the super long download time. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Look for the offline installer

And if all else fails a straight copy of the install directory works too

Copying the install directory isn't really recommended as it doesn't 'install' the game, no registry files nothing.

The offline installer works very well. First time i installed EVE, I downloaded the offline installer in the UK, stuck it on an external drive, flew home and installed from the external drive with minimal downloads necessary (patches that had been released in the interim)
