Just as an FYI for the folks out there, JAWS tandem service uses a modified version of VNC. I believe it creates a second tcp connection from remote to client that provides a SAPI based protocol. Certainly SIRI has a protocol to support remote speech, though this is hardcoded between Apple servers and the computer not between two random devices.
Also to add to this, AppleScript provides remote action abilities, so you could do: tell mark@Marks Computer application VoiceOver to speak "Mark, you are the best". Note this is not syntactically correct, and remote AppleTalk requires a user name and password. Since folks have been able to create language packs that work with VoiceOver, I imagine one could do an equivalent interface that just bundles the speech API and then pushes it to a remote computer to speak.
