Text-to-speech IRC client on Mac OS X
Here's how to get text-to-speech on an IRC client on Mac OS X:
1. Download the latest Colloquy nightly build. The latest nightly build fixes some issue that prevented it from working with Growl.
2. Turn on System Preferences > Growl > Applications > Application's Display Style > Speech
3. Turn on Show Event Bubble for the Chat Room Activity event in Colloquy
Update: I think Adium may be even better than Colloquy. Adium 1.4 has text-to-speech. It also speaks the name of the speaker, which Colloquy doesn't do. And I think it will speak private messages - again, something Colloquy doesn't do.

Indeed it does, but be sure to edit your 'Event' preferences for Group Chat as well as 'normal' chat (which I hadn't done)
