Well, Pidgin and Avahi are available from Maemo extras for OS2008.
Pidgin will allow you to do link-local chat via Bonjour and Avahi will
allow you to write other link-local-aware programs.

Another package that will allow you to perform link-local chat is the
RTcom package that includes telepathy-haze and telepathy-salut[0][1].
