Should be trivial to adjust your CSS to differentiate visited from 
unvisted links...

As far as accessibility is concerned, this is a user agent issue. There 
are a number of screenreaders that can be configured to identify visited 
links. If there is a user need to visually indicate the difference, most 
user agents can be configured (using browser overrides for CSS or user 
CSS) to emphasize (or de-emphasize) visited links according to the users 
preferences.

Hope that helps,
