You add the <server> tag to the <service id="icq.myserver"> section of
your jabber.xml. For reference, here's what I have in mine:

        <service id="icq.gunters.org">
          <icqtrans xmlns="jabber:config:icqtrans">
            <instructions>Please enter your ICQ number (in the "username" field
            <search>Search for ICQ users</search>
            <vCard>
              <FN>ICQ Transport</FN>
              <DESC>This is the ICQ Transport</DESC>
            </vCard>
            <server>205.188.153.99</server>
            <prime>37</prime>
            <ports>
              <min>2000</min>
              <max>3000</max>
            </ports>
          </icqtrans>
          <load>
            <icqtrans>./icq-transport-0.9/icqtrans.so</icqtrans>
          </load>
        </service>

The <server/> entry will override the
  #define DEFAULT_ICQ_HOST "205.188.153.104"
line in icqtransport.h file.
