Yes.

It is currently all merged into the trunk (HEAD) version of Gossip  
and is enabled with "--enable-telepathy".

The way I would do it is to start off with using Loudmouth as the  
Loudmouth backend adds less to the stack and the Gossip Loudmouth  
backend is far more stable the the Telepathy backend. This way you  
will run into less problems with the backend and can focus your  
efforts on the UI bits.

After you have that in place it should be as simple as to rebuild  
against the Telepathy backend.
