I'm a little late here, but this can be accomplished with a buddy list
theme [0].

e.g.:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<theme type="pidgin buddy list" name="PhilTheme" author="Phil">
  <description>Phil's icon reordering theme</description>

  <icon_theme name="(Default)"/>
  <blist/>
  <selected/>
  <groups><expanded/><collapsed/></groups>

  <buddys>
    <placement buddy_icon="0" status_icon="1" name="2" emblem="3"
protocol_icon="4" show_status="1"/>
    <background/><contact_text/><online_text/><away_text/><offline_text/>
    <idle_text/><message_text/><message_nick_said_text/><status_text/>
  </buddys>
</theme>
