No.  MagicPoint is simpler and smaller (much).
It's files are not compatible with PowerPoint.

There is no automatic way to convert PowerPoint files to 
MagicPoint.  You would need to recode the presentations
by hand.  MagicPoint is script-based -- you code it using
an editor (not a mouse).  I suggest you have a look at
the MagicPoint script in BasicLinux.  You will find it
in /usr/share/mgp.  There are also various MagicPoint 
scripts available on the internet.
