I have found from my own quick search on the subject that Emapthy is able to use pidgin's libpurple as a backend to communicate on the various IM-networks. (link)

However, I'm still not sure why I need a different frontend to libpurple. I'm actually quite happy with pidgin. But that may be because I'm not yet able to imagine all the cool things that I would be able to do with Telepathy / Empathy / Galago...
