Presumably by writing something to somewhere in
/sys/accessibility/speakup/ (or /proc/speakup ?)
I don't see a /sys/accessibility/speakup/pitch
but something else might do.

It might be possible to do it with a vim script
  http://www.vim.org/scripts/
  http://vim.sf.net
and then eventually to get that into the vim-scripts package...
