That's absolutely not true.  You can define WITH_GNOME=yes in
/etc/make.conf, or WITH_GNOME=evolutiondataserver in /etc/make.conf, and
gaim will automatically include e-d-s support.

You can based on what I said above.  I thought I had enabled e-d-s
support by default when package building, but apparently I only did that
for gnomepanel.
