Hi Carsten and all,
Beamer export sounds fantastic. I've been using org mode for this
sort of thing a lot over the last year--all of my lecture notes are
typed up as an org file, and I used org mode to draft slides for a
presentation over the summer, so an automated process would be
helpful.
But, I'm not sure that it makes sense to hardcode the frames as a
level 2 headline (or any level headline); I find it easier to define
a slide to be any headline that has no subheadings, regardless of
its depth---the ability to outline the structure of a presentation
as appropriate and then fill in the details (ie the slides) later is
(imho) the reason to use org-mode for this sort of task in the first
place. Columns, etc., could then be handled by using properties of
the last headline, or as a special list.
This approach might also make it easier to export the same file to
other formats (i.e. the existing html format). I imagine that this
would be a little harder to program, though, and is just my two cents.

1.2 Frames
===========
Level 2 headline (or the level configured in
org-beamer-frame-level) become frames. The headline text become
the frame title, but if no headline text is given, the frame gets
no title. If the frame title contains the string "\\", the line
will be split at that location, and the second half become the
frame /subtitle/.
