The Light Armor skill did originally affect the beast form, but it was removed in an early patch.
While the One-Handed skill does not seem to affect the beast form's damage values, it's possible that some of the other perks interact with it. (IE: 25% stamina cost reduction with one-handed power attack.)
Some perks from other trees do continue to work in beast form however, such as Light Step in the Sneak tree (you no longer trigger pressure plates), and Magic Resistance in the Alteration tree (+10%/+20%/+30% Resist Magic).
