There are two screenreaders in the accessibility ports, e.g.
/usr/ports/accessibility/yasr/ for the console and
/usr/ports/accessibility/orca/ for gnome.

Yasr requires a text-to-speak engine like festival.

Installing a port is usually a question of going to the port directory and
running 'make install clean'. From what I see in the port's pkg-message, ya=
sr
requires you to set up a configuration file (yasr.conf).
