Sure.

I think the best example i have is this one:

  https://www.openbsd.org/papers/eurobsdcon2018-mandoc.roff
  https://www.openbsd.org/papers/eurobsdcon2018-mandoc.pdf

But there are several others on

  http://mandoc.bsd.lv/press.html      and
  https://www.openbsd.org/events.html

though on these pages, not all talks using groff and mm are specifically
marked.  But i'm not the only person using groff+mm for presentations.
Multiple times, i have heard other people at conferences talk about it,
including some inspired by my first presentation that used that style:

  https://www.openbsd.org/papers/bsdcan14-mandoc.roff
  https://www.openbsd.org/papers/bsdcan14-mandoc.pdf

Here is another example on a completely different topic:
