Can you tell me if your theme validates according to:
* WCAG 1.0 Priority 1
* XHTML 1.0 Strict

Also, info on Section 508 compliance would also be useful.

I haven't found an easy way to scan through those themes which comply.

I use a largely un-modified version of this theme at http://news.stpaulcatholic.org.

You're welcome to run that site through whatever online validator you choose. I'd be glad to hear the results.

There are certainly some issues with validation, but I'm not sure which are theme and which are your content:

http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fnews.stpaulcath...
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css21&warning=2&uri...
http://wave.webaim.org/report?url=http://news.stpaulcatholic.org/

Let me know if you have any questions.

Its pretty obvious most of them are content related, its probably rather pointless running validation against a page with any appreciable content (unless the content is itself valid).

Better to download the theme and run it on a site you know has valid content, fix the issues if possible and submit a patch.

I've got your Drupal 6 version up here on a very basic install:
http://drupal6.dev.openconcept.ca/?theme=spreadfirefox

Just one error:
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css21&warning=2&uri...

Realize that there's only so much that can be done with the content. Although filtering it through the htmlPurifier module helps.
