I digged into this and it turned out that pidgin says:

guru at current:~> pidgin -v
Pidgin 2.7.7 (libpurple 2.7.7)
guru at current:~> ldd /usr/local/bin/pidgin | fgrep purple
        libpurple.so.7 => /usr/local/lib/libpurple.so.7 (0x289e0000)

but the /usr/local/lib/libpurple.so.7 was an older one, installed from
the FreeBSD ports: libpurple-2.5.5_1; I deleted this package and compiled pidgin
again with:

$ CFLAGS='-I/usr/local/include' CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/local/include' ./configure --disable-nm --disable-tcl --enable-gnutls=yes --with-gnutls-libs=/usr/local/lib

now it says:

guru at current:~> strings /usr/local/lib/libpurple.so.7 | fgrep Bad
...Bad or missing signature by %s

and pidgin uses ssl-gnutls.so:

guru at current:~> pidgin -d | fgrep gnutls
(10:10:44) plugins: probing /usr/local/lib/purple-2/ssl-gnutls.so
(10:10:45) plugins: Loading saved plugin /usr/local/lib/purple-2/ssl-gnutls.so

and it works fine now;

Thanks
