I'm not sure how accessible VNC would be, as I believe VNC simply
transfers bitmaps from machine A to machine B and exposes a
frame-buffer on the local computer. My gut feeling is that it's a
bust for accessibility.
Because of the network nature of X, if your desktop is running Linux
(or another X server, such as on BSD or possibly Mac; or there
might be some for Windows), you can SSH from your desktop into the
RPi with the "-X" parameter, then launch an X process on the RPi that
uses your local/desktop as the display.
I don't know how it would interplay with Orca (whether it looks for
accessibility bridges on the RPi or on the desktop), but it might be
a nice option.
