PICT is the "standard" Macintosh file format, and can be used by nearly 
every Mac graphics program(and many programs that have no obvious 
graphics capability). If he has a recent version of QuickTime(or a 
recent browser), he should be able to view PNG. JPEG or GIF would also 
work. He might have the capacity to handle TIFF or TGA files.

If he has GraphicConverter(a conversion/image editing program which does 
far more than just converting), he can handle just about anything. 
GraphicConverter also has the capability to do slide shows, so he might 
be able to use it for his presentation.
