Vertically? I think that's what you get by default (at least that's what I get).
Horizontally? Each list item centered? I hope not - it's going to look ugly.
You can do something like this
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+LaTeX_CLASS: beamer
* foo
#+LaTeX: \begin{center}
one\\
two three\\
four five six
#+LaTeX: \end{center}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and each line will be centered, but you cannot do this with a list:
I think the box that the list occupies takes up the whole width of the
slide, so centering it is a no-op.
Or perhaps you want the whole box indented so that the items are closer
to the center of the slide (but still left-aligned)? I think you can do
that by playing with list parameters in LaTeX, but I don't have my
references handy and don't know how to do it off the top of my head.

The former, probably.
