I just did exactly that and it was pretty straightforward. My method:

 * Download festival, speechtools, festlex_OALD, festlex_POSLEX, and
   festvox_don.

 * Unpack all of the above into a new directory.

 * cd into speech tools:
     ./configure && make

 * cd into festival:
     patch -p1 < .../festival-1.4.3.diff
     ./configure && make

 * Add $PWD/bin to PATH

 * Run festival_server

Seems to work fine.
