Unless I am misunderstanding I can't see this going to work. VoiceOver
uses different voices on both iOS and Mac. So if they are going to
implement this on the mac then it will have to work across macs only.
VoiceOver settings are already synced to iCloud as part of documents and
data. In my experience when restoring my iPhone 4s from an iCloud backup
made on the iPhone 4, all my VoiceOver settings came across except for
the voice, but that's a different matter altogether.

Dear Apple Accessibility Team,
With such deep integration of iCloud with so many aspects of iOS and OS X, it's
surprising that VoiceOver has so far been left out. Many VoiceOver users own
multiple Apple devices, and would benefit greatly from being able to sync
VoiceOver preferences across all their devices.
Currently, for Mac, there is the portable preferences feature. Though no doubt
a good idea at the time, this is now a little out dated and clunky, requiring a
user to carry around a USB flash drive to plug into each mac, it also seems to
have troubles syncing preferences in multiple directions, at least in my
experience. I've also tried exporting my VoiceOver preferences to a third party
syncing service (Dropbox), but this also does not seem to work smoothly. It
doesn't seem to export or import my pronunciation and keyboard commander
preferences, for example.
iCloud seems like the perfect solution for this problem. It could offer
seamless syncing of VoiceOver preferences across multiple Apple devices,
without needing to carry around the same portable flash drive. It could offer
syncing between Macs, between iOS devices and even between Macs and iOS devices
so far as the same preferences were applicable.
I hope you consider this for a future update to VoiceOver and both iOS and OS X.
Thank you for all your great work.
Kind regards,
Nic
