As someone who's done work with blind and deaf experiemental subjects, you've raised my interest. The answer is "not easily". It's possible to use a remote serial connection to navigate through the installation options, tied to a text to speech synthesizer and appropriate keyboard or speecto to text controller. That would require a separate system with the speech to text tools, such as the Dragon company's software, and the ability to reliably handle the text commands. Since the text installer involves a lot of hitting the "tab" key to bounce from line to line, even in the pure text mode, it wouldn't be simple. I suggest that you'd be better off collaborating with a competent RHEL or CentOS administrator to tune a kickstart file to your needs, and use that to deploy a pre-structured operating system configuration.
