I haven't seen any mention of such a port, but saying now or never seems 
rather negative.  Emacs runs under Windows, as does espeak,  so there's 
no real reason why emacspeak couldn't be made to run under windows if 
someone put in the time and effort.  Its something I'd be quite 
interested in implementing, as it would be very useful to use emacspeak 
when not in linux.

Its worth adding that if you do want to install a linux distro then 
using vmware or similar virtualisation software you can do it without 
the need for dual booting.>
