Yes, speakup and espeakup are available on the iso, and orca is
available in gnome. I haven't used gnome myself (I mostly use the
commandline via ssh) so I can't comment a whole lot about orca.

We also have brltty and emacspeak available in the repository. I don't
really use them personally so I haven't looked at them in some time.

Please feel free to ask any questions and welcome to Gentoo. :-)
