You have to be aware that Intrepid is still under development. Orca 
itself runs stable on my machine (Gutsy).
I use the latest Orca from svn.

Why don't you create an image of your old system, before doing 
experimental stuff?
I did a similar experiment this evening with OO 3.0, which I couldn't 
install successful on my machine. Before I did this, I made an image 
using Partimage, a program that comes with the Austrian distro GRML:

In case of accidents you simply restore the image.
GRML comes with brltty and Speakup, in case you use speech only.
