>Description:
Nothing too severe, just that it seems the libpurple package is missing the MySpace protocol, required by pidgin to use it for MySpace IM.  Pidgin seems to be one of the few messengers FreeBSD has that can communicate with MySpace IM, and I'm sure many people would appreciate having this feature in future versions of the package, or having all the protocols libpurple handles available to them :)
>How-To-Repeat:
If you haven't installed pidgin......

pkg_add -r pidgin

once you have the package added, run pidgin.

you'll see that there is no myspace protocol available....
>Fix:
If you already have pidgin installed and it doesn't have the myspace protocol available (or it doesn't have a protocol you want but know libpurple DOES handle it) 

Uninstall anything you have installed related to pidgin.  This would include items such as:  pidgin, libpurple, pidgin-facebookchat, pidgin-guifications.
By uninstall I mean either pkg_delete the offending package or going into the required port directory and make uninstall clean. You want to start fresh here.
Once that is done.....

1:)  cd /usr/ports/net-im/libpurple
2:)  make config
3:)  check off all protocols that you want to use
4:)  make install clean
5:)  If you CAN build pidgin, cd /usr/ports/net-im/pidgin && make install clean
6:)  If you CAN'T build pidgin (like I couldn't) pkg_add -r pidgin
7:)  cd /usr/ports/net-im/pidgin-facebookchat && make install clean
8:)  cd /usr/ports/net-im/pidgin-guifications && make install clean
9:)  start pidgin as per usual.  If for some reason it doesn't start, chances are you're missing libpurple.so.2 which is easily fixed by:
10:) cp /usr/local/lib/libpurple.so /usr/local/lib/libpurple.so.2
11:) start pidgin if it didn't start before, and when you go to add accounts,
you should see every option available to you :)
