Yes you can.  What we do is to use the speech dispatcher discussed
extensively on previous messages on this list (see the archives).
Speech dispatcher can be configured to drive software synths like
software DECTalk, Festival and Flite.  Then speakup is configured to
use sftsyn as its synthesizer of choice.  You also need speechd-up to
go inbetween Speakup and the Speech Dispatcher.  I realize this may
sound confusing but can be worked out and has actually worked pretty
well for me on a couple machines.
