By this I mean steps in one slide that unfold step by step by moving on to the next pdf page. (This means one slide is represented in the PDF as a whole bunch of pages.)

I use a personal module to get this behavior. It is not as feature rich as 
beamer's \pause (you need to manually annonate stuff using \STEP 2 { ... } 
etc.; but it serves my purpose). Have a look at some of my recent 
presentations at http://www.ece.mcgill.ca/~amahaj1/talks.html for 
examples.

If this is something that you are looking for, see 
https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg83683.html for the 
code.
