508 compliance isn't a thing built into software it's about the way that you use it. Plus it is a US requirement ONLY that makes it applicable to a very small proportion of the world, see this site for a relative population map. http://www.worldmapper.org/display.php?selected=2
So define which components of 508 you want to implement and what compliance requires then you can ask specific questions.
In general terms using http://www.csun.edu/~comp508/webapps.html as a base for web delivered content point by point..
1. No, you'd need to add this by hand.
2. Yes
3. No but the colour requirement is to handle contrast and colour perceptions. Good design actually renders this requirement redundant.
4. No really applicable in the content type
5. Yes
6. Yes
7. Yes
8. Not really applicable to the content type
9. Yes, no frames are used
10. Designer dependant
11. Yes, can be done
12. The scripting used allows this
13. OK with this one too
14. Depends on designer and design
15. The navigation is all functional, not applicable.

As an observation I find it very paradoxical that a country will pass legislation like this to allow wide access to media but will baulk at one providing wide access to healthcare.
