I have managed to get Speakup to run on a PowerPC Ubuntu installation.
Haven't tried Debian, but I am pretty sure that would work as well.
You are not able to use a hardware synth however, as the speakup code
was designed to work on X86 hardware to directly talk with the serial
ports. Modern PowerPC systems do not have serial ports, but only have
USB, and as it is known, synths do not work via USB to serial devices at
this stage.
When I tried running it a while back, I also ran into another problem
where the screen review commands would review the console, however no
console output was spoken as you typed in commands, used apps, etc.
Hope this helps.
