Google does not add any weight for being W3C compliant or using table-less designs. But it does help although very, very little in the fact that you can move the content to the top of the page.

But does Yahoo give a ranking boost for table-less designs and being W3C compliant?
I think here is a point we can start with: YUI Theater — Shawn Henry: “Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Update” » Yahoo! User Interface Blog

About accessibility & validation see my following post.
