This is already the case for the AT infrastructure (unless you happen to
have a broken distro/package in there, which does happen from time to
time). ;-)  The AT support is a daemon-like service that starts
transparently on-demand, etc. etc. 

As for the AT apps themselves, you don't need the command line, though
adding GOK or gnopernicus to your gnome-session is not exactly an
obvious process for the user.  So a UI for doing this (and turning on
the relevant 'accessibility' gconf key) is on the 2.4 accessibility
roadmap (see recent email from Calum for instance, in this same thread I
believe)
