Yes, if they're using PyICQ for the transport's backend.

I don't know of any transport that supports this or plans to support this.  
Remember, if you have to do it through the transport, you're using bandwidth 
from the jabber server for it, and I'm not sure how many people want to give 
themselves a DDOS from having to handle video connections to the obsolete 
networks.

It's the only network that follows the open standard philosophy, therefor, all 
clients that support Jabber are "official" clients.  It eliminates the need 
for the obsolete networks entirely.
