is there a way of using CSS to smooth out Headline text?
I am aware of the sifr method, but is there an easier way of doing it through CSS?

No. Anti-aliasing of text in the browser depends on the user's OS settings and which browser they are using.

use the php graphics library and font installed on your server to dynamically generate headlines as images. : ?

Speaking of... I noticed Verdana renders better on PCs than Arial for body text... I think there are things PC users can download to fix the text rendering a bit...upgrades from the OS.

there is an alternative to sifr that lets you make graphics as headers too however when it comes to font smoothing you are at the mercy of the users settings. EG cleartype, even then with some JS animations the text will revert to anti-aliased.

If your headers are not dynamic use a sprite containing all the headlines you need and then move its position accordingly.
If your headers are dynamic use sifr.
some_selector {
text-indent:-9999px;
background:url(path_to_your_spri...
}(personally i find the sprite method a bit more snappy)
