No, Chat is based on Jabber. (It uses PS's chat rooms, not 1-1 IM, and
the rooms for activities are obscurely named as they use the activity ID
in the JID, so while it is possible to use a desktop jabber client to
talk to a Chat instance, it's not easy...)

There is an IRC Activity (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XoIRC) although I
don't know whether it will be included by default.

Since Telepathy has an IRC connection manager, we should investigate
using that on the XO...
