Put the following stanza into your init file:

(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (when (member "beamer" (TeX-style-list))
              (TeX-PDF-mode 1))))

Note that this will enable TeX PDF mode only for existing files.  If you
open a new file and insert the documentclass stuff, the mode will not be
updated.  This will happen only after you save the file, close it and
reopen it.
