With a little javascript you can.  Set an onload handler in the body
tag to unfocus all links initially, and then in the link itself you
can set an onfocus handler to change to the next page.

<a href="nextpage" onfocus="document.location=this.url" accesskey="n">

Or something like that - my javascript <A> attribute memory is a tad
hazy from disuse. :)  But any user agent that supports accesskeys
should also support onfocus.  Note the potentially unintended side
effect of having this move to the next page is the user arrives via
tabbing through the links, though - it may be worthwhile to set the
tabindex to some obscenely high number in order to make it last in the
sequence, or do a state machine to see if the link just before this
was last focused, or something like that...
