I know spectrum depends only on libpurple, I meant the protocol plugins,
say net/pidgin-tlen. And from quick glance at sources spectrum does need
libpurple to build, all protocols have (indirectly) #include "purple.h"
and all of them say for example:
const std::string gatewayIdentity() { return "icq"; }
const std::string protocol() { return "prpl-icq"; }
which to me looks like they use purple for that.

So, again, my suggestion is that if the pidgin-microblog was to be
ported it should depend on libpurple and not on pidgin, and maybe same
treatment should be applied to already ported plugins - if it would be
possible to make spectrum work with them.
