Dear Frank,

 I'm not an expert in this, but I think the "TeXmacs-way" would be to have 
first a markup with two slots, one for the slide and one for the comment, and 
then render it either as a table with two cells or as the left slot, whether 
you want the comments or not. 

This can be decided by some variable, or you can look at how other similar 
things are done like exam questions and other foldable things, or also the 
way TeXmacs implements the comparison between two documents (i.e. by having a 
markup which contains both the old and new version of a fragment and 
providing functionality to show either of them, or both, etc..) 

Also you can use scheme to get the comment of the current slide and show it 
in a separate dialog window, or in a separate document, so that you can have 
one window projected for the audience and the other only available on the 
presenter screen.

It could also be possible that instead of trying to emulate what beamer does 
one can find a better interactive solution using the integration between 
document and presentation which TeXmacs allows.


Best,
Max
