It is in some instances but whether it is worth the hassle I am not sure. If you are interested David Woodbridge from Vision Australia did a podcast on this a while ago. http://www.applevis.com/podcast/episodes/mac-basics-35-exploring-dashboard-w idgets-menu-voiceover
Also last year there was somebody on the MacVisionaries list who was programming a whole set of accessible widgets for use by list members with Dashboard but I never availed myself of them. Basically he asked what people wanted and he tried to program them. If you googled MacVisionaries mailing list and Dashboard you may find the downloads he was offering in beta after trying to meet these requests. In real life I looked at Dashboard briefly but did not personally find it that rewarding.
