When you say "enable in the kernel", do you refer to recompiling the genkernel, with the features turned on, or editing /etc/conf.d/modules? The former I have no clue how to do, the latter is a bit easier. I guess it's the former, since I edited the modules file with the needed lines, and it didn't work.

CONFIG_SPEAKUP 2. CONFIG_SPEAKUP_SYNTH_SOFT or whatever your synthesizer is you should have many options in there. After this is done emerge espeakup should work.
