You might want to check out zfone.  It seems to work well with iChat
voice & video chat.  There's no iChat configuration needed for the
proxy piece - it actually uses divert sockets at the firewall layer
(which can lead to puzzling results if you have your own firewall
script).

Note though that's it's gratis but not libre - you have to jump
through some silly hoops to get the download, source is unavailable,
and the license doesn't let you redistribute.
