So, you would use mdns to automatically discover the central XMPP server and then normal disco, presence, etc, to find other clients that support the services you're looking for as Peter suggests.
Jive Messenger lists itself using the "_xmpp-client._tcp.local." service name, which mirrors the XMPP DNS SRV entry.
