The designer is the ultimate determinant of whether and how a site
meets accessibility guidelines. There are too many nuances (and
opinions). That said, your best bet might be creative use of
background images with the actual link text present - but just tiny or
positioned off screeen. If CSS is disabled, the menu would display as
an ordinary list. I'm sure others have examples to point you at, but
this example might give you food for thought:

It's a pulldown menu, but the technique would work as well for a
single root level.
