Hi, Well, I went ahead and did it.
I booted from the DVD, launched VoiceOver, chose my main language and went into the utilities menu. I clicked on Restore system from Backup or something similar, and just followed the instructions from there. Seemed to work pretty well. Looks perfectly accessible. Just use the VO-keys, and you should be set.
