One of the points in accessibility checks is that information conveyed using colour is also conveyed without. The most common way of doing visited links is to have them be a slightly different colour. It's my opinion that in a purely visual sense (because I don't know how screen readers announce visited links) this approach is inaccessible.
Its become a major pet peeve of mine that people are not styling visited links at all, many times, now-a-days. I give as an example a recent page I was looking at of Google's. http://mail.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?topic=1555
In the "old" days the browser would automatically tell you what was visited or not. Now, with css many times people aren't including them and so .... very aggravating. I find that "visited" information crucially helpful when visiting a site, especially something like my example, above.
So, not sure what the best way is, but, I myself, tend to go with a lighter shade of the non-visited. Just do something! :)
