Section 508 and CSS have very little to do with one another. The only 
Section 508 requirements with a CSS implication is the rule to not have 
information conveyed only in color, and of course the rule to make sure 
sites are readable without CSS. This, however, is mainly accomplished 
with proper markup and logical source order. An easy way to test it is 
to view your page in a text browser or with the styles turned off (using 
the Web Developer toolbar or similar tools).

Now, if you're talking about accessibility in general, not just 508 
(which is really the bare minimum), there are more CSS implications, but 
most of it has to do with markup and scripting. I don't really know what 
you are specifically looking for, so I'll just recommend the book Web 
Accessibility from friendsofed as a good source.

-- this is a really great toolbar (Firefox) that was emailed to one of 
the lists months ago. CSS is only one of many elements it can be used to 
check.

 If you install the Web Developer extension for Firefox you can then run a
 Section 508 test which will give you some pointers.
