Hi, And what about Telepathy (http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/).
Accordingly to the project summary: "The Telepathy project aims to provide a unified framework for all forms of real time conversations, including instant messaging, IRC, voice calls and video calls. It uses the D-Bus messaging system to provide a simple interface for client applications, allowing them to quickly benefit from Telepathy's functionality." It uses d-bus which is already included in OpenMoko platform (http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/OpenMokoFramework). I'm not an expert in this, but maybe it's a possibility.
