Step 0:

Get Homebrew installed on your mac if you don't already have it

Step 1:

Install highlight. "brew install highlight". (This brings down Lua and Boost as well)

Step 2:

Copy your source code to the clipboard

Step 3:

Highlight your source. "pbpaste | highlight -O rtf | pbcopy". This will highlight the source code in RTF format and copy the result of that operation to your Mac's clipboard.

Step 4:

Paste into your slide in Keynote. Keynote will create a new text box with your highlighted code. You can adjust the width as needed, and adjust the font size with cmd+ and cmd-

Bonus:

Create your highlighted text using a specific font, font size, (language)[http://www.andre-simon.de/doku/highlight/en/langs.php] and (style)[http://www.andre-simon.de/doku/highlight/en/theme-samples.php].
