Well, you have to "register" into a transport (more correct in Jabber terminology) - that means to fill in a UIN/password for ICQ and the like. No need to set up any gateways though :) Unless you want to run your own Jabber server, that's it.
I used Yahoo! transport at amessage.info myself, but the transport is pretty flaky (I think it is a general property of this transport, not something amessage.info specific) - crashes often, likes to mangle the buddy lists etc. I didn't use that gateway for cca 6 month, so perhaps it is more stable now. I wouldn't suggest this as an option for a newbie, though.
