I'm not sure I understood your question correctly, but maybe at 
least in regards of talk there's the ntalk utility. It requires
enabling the corresponding line in /etc/inetd.conf.

ntalk   dgram   udp     wait    tty:tty /usr/libexec/ntalkd     ntalkd

The ntalk program itself is available via ports (net/ntalk).
