We are going through this right now.  My best advice is to use sharepoint as
an infrastructure tool (eg for the "back end" of publishing/etc) and to
rewrite everything that the PUBLIC touches.

As below:
-redo menu controls
-redo any web parts you want to use (content query, etc)
-base your master on minimal and build up from there

It's a shame MS doesn't take accessibility seriously with asp.net full stop,
and that unfortunately makes SharePoint a victim.
