Situation: two-part choral line, written in four16ths and an eighth, stems
down, each with an accent above it. A slur is necessary, due to all the
notes being over just one word. Using only one slur on the beam side is not
an option. How would you draw the slur with respect to the presence of those
accents?

I assume you mean one syllable rather than one word. My first choice would be to place the slur on the beam side. If that isn't possible (why isn't it?) I would probably place the accents over the noteheads and the slur over the accents. (I'm just picturing it in my mind, and that seems the clearest placement. There's probably a rule, for those who like rules.)
