There is an experimental interface from current cvs speakup to the speech dispatcher daemon which I believe supports festival. You would use the softsynth driver with speakup and the speechd-up driver from the projects page at www.freebsoft.org/. There are still some issues to be resolved but it is an interesting start I think.
