First of all you need the Facebookchat Pidgin plugin:

http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/downloads/list

Once you've installed that and restarted Pidgin, set up an account with
your normal Facebook login details (note: I don't use Facebook myself,
so I assume it works this way) and the Facebook friends should then
appear in your buddy list.
