Yes, I've been using it for over a year now. Speakup is readily
available, especially if you use the pre-configured installation media
available from Chris Brannon's site; sorry, I don't remember the exact
address now.
As for Orca, just be sure to install the gnome and gnome-extra
packages and I think that should be all you need; then at least for
the time being, run 'startx' from a normal user account and turn off
speakup before hitting the enter key. After sufficient wait (maybe
two minutes or so) press the alt+F2 key to open the run dialog in
gnome. Type 'orca' without the tick marks and hit enter. Orca should
soon start speaking and prompting you for setup information like which
speech engine to use, which language in some cases, etc. Getting
through these gnome steps is the trickiest part without speech. The
rest has worked fine for me. It's been over a year since my first
install of Arch so I might have missed a point but hopefully this will
get you on your way.
