Greetings, have you tried the directions found at the orca wiki (http://live.gnome.org/Orca/AccessibleLogin)?
The directions were written durring Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Herrin, but to my knowledge the procedure has not changed.

You will need to press a key sequence (provided on the orka wiki) to activate orca at the prompt.  I'm not sure if there's  a way to bring orca up automatically.  You can modify the key combination (and the time requirement if you don't want to hold the keys for a full second).

No idea, someone else might be abl to let you know.

hope this helps:-)
