It seems it is. The upstream website says ekho can use either espeak or festival, but I can't find a way to disable espeak so it seems it's required even if you use festival for synthesis. I had espeak installed due to other reasons so I didn't notice.
I'll add the dependency.

I have to install espeak for this package to be built. Is it a dependency?

Just tested festival support and it works nicely. I agree with luoyi's suggestion to enable it.
Just add 'festival' to depends --enable-festival to the configure line.

6.0 (2014-05-21) is the current version.

I suggest add Festival support in the default build. it just require change the configure argument and add a package dependence .
