Subject line says it all. I'd like to know the best choice of programs

appreciated!
OOo Writer will allow insertion of animated GIFs but no tool in the
suite will create them so you question is a bit off-topic for this list.
I do not have a Mac but a quick google search produced the following
result:
Results 1 - 50 of about 107,000 for how to create animated gifs under
macosx?. (0.50 seconds)
In the top 10 from this search,

GIFbuilder is mentioned as the best free tool for the job. I did not
check further but I'll bet there are others.
The Gimp is available for Mac, not only for Linux and Windows. It is a
very powerful tool which among other things can create animated GIFs.

A tutorial on creating animations with Gimp:

And to be on-topic: it can be an interesting feature for OOo Impress to
export presentations as animated GIFs in the same way it can export in
Flash format (don't know it it is already a request on IssueZilla about
this)
