I think you're correct with the XML angle. Keynote 1 used an XML 
format, so there's no reason to think that Pages will be different.

However, the actual transformation from XML is something I don't have 
any idea about. The possibilities could be exciting, for doing a "rough 
layout" in Pages and transferring that to TeX, but I think that it 
would be a *lot* of work transforming all of Pages concepts to TeX.
