Me thinks that since VoiceOver is tied into the operating system,
along with all the other accessibility options, it's not very likely. 
Good news is that Apple just switched to the x86 arch, and that means
OS X will run on the same PC as Windows, so if you wanted to, in a
year or two it will be possible to run OS X and Windows on the same
computer, with a little fiddling around.  Some people are doing that
already, albeit illegally.
