There is no screen reader for KDE at the moment.  There is a plan to make that 
possible under KDE 4, using existing screen readers.  Details have not yet 
been worked out.  Recommend you go to lists.kde.org and browse this mailing 
list for background.

If you would like to work on actual screen reader, recommend getting involved 
in the Orca project.
