When we built a drag-and-drop interface for a quiz setup, we used
two lists: one with the answers in random order and another with
the destinations.
We had instructions for keyboarders, you could tab (or arrow) to
any answer, hit space to select it, then tab (or arrow) over to 
the next list, choose the list item which the question that
matched the answer you grabbed, and drop it there using Enter.

That's the general method for drag and drop, although it's been
removed from the Aria Authoring specs because it didn't work
well in many AT (for it to work, screen readers need to go into
focus mode or otherwise let that spacebar and enter key get
passed on to Javascript).

I've also seen other setups where popup menus with the destinations
appear that you can arrow around on as well.

So, you don't necessarily need to be able to move like a mouse
for drag and drop with coordinates-- just, at the very least,
the draggable and the drop destination need to be focusable and
have the right keystroke listeners.

On top of that there may be additional, mouse-imitating scripts
SRs themselves could add, since lots of websites with drag and
drop don't code in the keyboarding anyway.
