You'll need to use Debian Unstable (also known as Sid) and wait a little for
the developers to finish the gnome 3.2 and AT-SPI 2 transition, unless you
want to run a stable release with Gnome 2.x contrary to your requirement
above.

Yes, and there are Arch users on this list.

I think there are people who have it working with Gnome 3 and Orca now,
although there have been problems reported on the list.

I think they're still using Gnome 2.x, but I might be wrong. Remember that the
"enterprise" distributions emphasize reliability and therefore move to major
software upgrades much more slowly than other distributions.

I don't know. I doubt that it has been thoroughly tested even if it compiles
and runs.

You should be able to access a FreeBSD system over ssh from a Linux machine,
though.
