Not sure if this is what you want to do but here it goes. If you can
hunt it down there is a Rendezvous plugin for gaim or was one.
Rendezvous as you might know is the name of apple's zeroconf

need to be running Rendezvous complaint clients. and they will be able
to chat with any person on the network with a Rendezvous compatible
client.
