I'm not sure.  :-(  Have you tried asking on the XUbuntu mailing list? 
They would know best about how well accessibility has been integrated. 
If you find the answer, it would be great if you could update the Orca 
WIKI to help other people out.

There's an FAQ about this: 
http://live.gnome.org/Orca/FrequentlyAskedQuestions/UsingOrca

"No. KDE currently does not support the AT-SPI. There's some work being 
done to make the AT-SPI more amenable to the KDE folks. Orca currently 
requires the AT-SPI infrastructure, which is not supported by KDE at 
this point in time. Work is underway, however, and you should track the 
accessibility of KDE on the kde-accessibility mailing list: 
https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-accessibility";
