I checked and and it seems libpurple can handle multiple IM protocols at once, but using it directly would require creating new interfaces inside LyX for authentication, contacts list, etc. So, as I said earlier, since the project already seems quite large as is, it would be better to discuss a list of deliverables for the GSoC and how they should be implemented.
