I'm using gnome/orca on archlinux. It's not that difficult to install (it can't be if I did it successfully). Michael Wapples had an audio tutorial on the process, but it was pretty straightforward. Pretty much follow the arch beginner's installation guide on installing gnome,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,then you just need to go through the standard initial orca configuration the first time you run it and make the .orbitrc file (and modify sudoers if you use sudo) to obtain access to admin applications. The arch directions may seem daunting but they're not really that bad.
