Beamer Update
Beamer turned out to be very easy to use with TeXShop; I didn't run into the problems logicnazi encountered when using it with a LaTeX application installed via fink. I had to get a few extra packages from c-tan to get everything to run smoothly though: pgf.sty, xcolor.zip, xxcolor.sty and pgfshade.sty.
As a first project I converted my slides from the Formal Epistemology Workshop, and now they have colours, boxes, and "overlays" galore. My approach to the conversion was basically just to get it all more or less working and then trawl the Beamer manual for cool stuff to add. The result, as you might expect, would make Josh Parsons blanche, (honestly, check out that link,) but I think I'm in a position to produce something more, ... streamlined ... for the AAP in Sydney.

Speaking of the AAP, do you know if they'll be set up for projecting slides from a computer, or should I print out my slides before coming?

I don't know. But I'd like to know. I've emailed the organisers to ask, so I'll let you know what they say.
