Yahoo server works on freeBSD. Why isn't there any YM program for freeBSD?!

Pidgin has AIM, Bonjour, ICQ, MSN and Yahoo. I can vouch for the correct working of ICQ, MSN and Yahoo.

I use Kopete from KDE3 and from KDE4 with Yahoo!, MSN, Jabber without any issues. Works quite nicely. IMO, it's one of the best multi-protocol chat clients around.

But then, I am biased toward KDE apps.
