Yes.

See $FG_ROOT/Docs/README.voice.html. Once festival is set up
you only need to start it as server:

  $ festival --server

and start fgfs with voice support enabled:

  $ fgfs --prop:/sim/sound/voices/enabled=1 --airport=KSQL

Turn on ATC Traffic if you want to hear AI pilots. Use the '-key
(apostrophe key) to communicate with the tower. (If you start from
KSFO you won't get ATC communication offered.) The tutorials will
also speak to you.

You can permanently enable /sim/sound/voices/enabled. The only
disadvantage is that you get a few error messages if the server
isn't running. You can safely ignore that. I'll fix that later
(by submitting an sg patch :-).
