It sounds like a good plan to me.  On my XO, build candidate-801 (8.2.1),
I can easily do:

yum install xclip
[select some text]
xclip -o | espeak --stdin

All you have to do is wrap this up in a frame device, like the volume
control or battery meter, and you're done!

Bonus: reimplement using pygst, the gstreamer speak plugin, and pyx11 or
libX11, so that xclip isn't needed and you don't need to spawn a new
process every time.
