Nothing exists in terms of a gentoo audio accessibility installation walkthrough. I'll be surprised if that ever changes too. Why this is happening is because part of espeak comes in the kernel code which is how you got gentoo talking at all during installation. I don't know if you built your kernel or used a pre-built kernel. Maybe a flag for espeak-ng is one of those accessibility flags available during kernel building I don't know. If an espeak-ng pre-built kernel doesn't yet exist you'd have to build your own kernel and enable that flag. This may get you out of the woods or into the weeds, fenrirscreenreader is another package you could try to emerge on gentoo and have it start and remove espeak-ng. I don't know if you went the systemd route or the openrc route. From what I've read, openrc is recommended over systemd on gentoo. I wish I had better news and I'm another one who could really use an audio accessibility installation gentoo walkthrough.
