You should be able to install festival that way.  Where did you try the 
"make distclean"?  That should work in xastir's build directory whether you 
have festival installed or not.

The process should go something like this:
  sudo apt-get install festival-dev (it might be enough to install "festival",
     but this makes sure that headers and libraries are installed, too)
  cd ~/src/XASTIR/xastir
  cvs update
  ./bootstrap.sh
  cd ../build
  make distclean 
  ../xastir/configure
  make && sudo make install

At that point festival should show up in configure's final output as being
enabled.

Look in the Applications->Settings->Settings Manager. There's a panel for the 
screen saver that you can use to disable the screen saver.
