Is there a simple keystroke, like space, that can be used to switch
slides? It shouldn't matter if VoiceOver is able to communicate the
change of slide,  as long as  there is a keystroke that reliably
works. I have never given a presentation with a Mac, but I have with
PC's that didn't have JAWS installed and I just pressed space to go to
the next slide and it was fine.
