They're all there, except that Gnopernicus is now replaced by Orca. I
can't know, of course, what selections you made during your FC6
installation process that kept them from being installed, but you can
easily install them using yum. Red Hat is keeping them quite current, in
fact.

My advice is to install orca from the Fedora development tree in order
to track the latest developments. The downside of doing this is that
you'll need to take care to retrieve updates by hand. Here's how to do
that:

yum --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=development install orca

For gok and gnome-speech, just do:

yum install gok gnome-speech

Here are the rpm listings from my FC6 installs:
