Yes, Microsoft offers a free-for-the-download product called Producer
which works with PowerPoint 2002 and PowerPoint 2003.
I suppose that if the WMV files produced were of sufficiently high
quality (WMV 9 is supported), it would be possible to transcode them
to MPEG-2 for DVD-Video use with acceptable results. I've never tried
it, so I can't say one way or the other. I note that the feature list
says that PowerPoint animations and effects are retained, which is
nice.
Here are a couple of links to more information, one on the Office site
and one on the Windows Media site.
