Using best-practice (in terms of site development / design), goes a long way to achieving accessibility aims. I think that people who need high visibility are more dependant on sites which have corrected marked up code. If your site can be navigated without a stylesheet, and you use headings sensibly, this is going to make a hell of a difference - because the user will be able to apply their own high-vis stylesheets to your markup.
I know that people who use screenreaders are very dependent on correct use of headers - because this allows them to tab through content quickly to find what they're interested in.
You can always allow the user to toggle text-size and provide your own toggle for a high-visiblity stylesheet if you're keen to provide an aethetically pleasing version of your site for all users.
Personally, I really like to be able to find a community of users (who need accessible sites) who are willing to demo / test sites and give feedback based on their experiences. There must be communities out their who do this, but I'm yet to find any; though, chances are, I haven't been looking hard enough.
