If you want to run X, why not just install Orca? Sure it'll only work under X, and you might have to turn voiceover off, but probably not. You could always try vinux as a VM to play around with it.

I suspect that's not easily possible. The apps would need to communicate state and type information for every object to Apple's accessibility API, which would take a substantial bit of coding to accomplish. From what I've read, other than text-based command line stuff, the various GUIs from the unix world are not accessible. X11 has some add-ons to hook into other accessibility APIs but this is only a subset overlay as there is no X11 accessibility standards or even work being done on a standard.
