Haven't used it in years, but I liked it when I used ports/misc/magicpoint.

Port description is:
    MagicPoint - an X11 based presentation tool

    MagicPoint is an X11 based presentation tool.  It is designed to make
    simple presentations easy while to make complicated presentations
    possible.  Its presentation file (whose suffix is typically .mgp) is
    just text so that you can create presentation files quickly with your
    favorite editor (e.g. Emacs).
