This port does not depend on any X11 stuff, and it is known to work with finch (console version of pidgin). For all I know there is an open issue about a user being constantly signed out from telegram on Bitlbee¹, though I am not sure whether it is an issue with particular setup, or a defect in telegram-purple. You can actually build a port and test it. ¹ https://github.com/majn/telegram-purple/issues/392
