Tim,
The whole problem is that, as yet, no one has been able to find an
accessible Jabberclient on the Mac. Hence this work around.

No, there really isn't any need to installl your own jabber server.
All you need do is install an accessible jabber client for a few
minutes that can perform service discovery. You would then find a
server at www.jabber.org and then create an account using the
client. Most of these clients will create an account for you, all
you have to do is pick a server. After you're done registering your
jabber account, use the clients service discovery feature to
register on the gateway of your choice. Then uninstall the client,
log in to your newly created account with Ichat and your done. I
used Pandion to do this, and if you do it for service discovery in
this software they call it choosing a transport. It isn't hard to
do and the only reason you have to do it this way is currently Ichat
doesn't have an option to create a Jabber account or pick a transport.
