I'm not sure what you mean by, "by default".  

Once the kernel is patched, I'll just be writing an ebuild for it so
that you can emerge speakup and get it installed.  Then you would just
modprobe the module for the synth you are using.  It will be very
similar to the way the alsa-driver package works if you use the drivers
that are not in the kernel.

If you mean on the live cd, not right away, because we have to get the
kernel patched, then write the ebuild, and have it tested etc., but
that is being worked on.
