It should actually be much easier to get OTR to work with Finch than
it sounds like it was to get it to work with mICQ, since Finch also uses
libpurple.  The pidgin-otr plugin already has a logic / UI separation
(this used to be important for Adium X; I don't know if it still is),
so "all" you should have to do is make a text-based interface to the
configuration, dialogs, etc.

I don't know of any others.
