I know that some professional web developers will only provide a Photoshop
mockup to their clients so that their clients can't steal the webpages and
continue to develop them without paying the original designer. I don't know
if that is where you are coming from - in that case, you can't really
provide a mockup that is accessible. If that is not your concern, why not
create a page and prove its accessibility with Bobby.
The other possibility is just to simply state that you understand the WCAG
and know how to apply it and when the work is done, the page(s) will have
valid Bobby logos on them.

Ive decided to look at an existing website we have and make it bobby
approved - its a bit of a pain as the site was built with tables for layout
etc, so im having to add summary="", which seems to pass the bobby test like
alt="" also does for spacer images.
For this example I'll just make the online test work - which to me isnt
really about accesible websites but will solve the problem at hand.

I would suggest that you write and post an accessibility policy on your
site, adding a link at the bottom of your page.
A woderfull example may be found on the 14th Chapter of the book of Joe
Clark, under the undertitle "Writing and posting the policy" which is also
online::
http://www.joeclark.org/book/sashay/serialization/Chapter14.html
I am also aware of this problem with Bobby, so I would recommend you to try
another validator company as UsableNet or other, who provide unlimited free
evaluations and logos for your page.
I personally use the logos of W3C/WAI.
