Comment:

 I appreciate the reply :)  I removed the pidgin package, the libpurple
 package, the pidgin-facebookchat package, and the pidgin guifications
 package, then attempted to ./configure --disable-gevolution in the
 /usr/ports/net-im/pidgin directory.  That didn't work, so I edited the
 Makefile and added --disable-gevolution in the appropriate spot, and ran
 make install FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=YES install clean distclean. It still
 attempted to build the evoultion-data-server, which for some reason still
 didn't want to compile.  I decided to try a different way and this
 worked....

 1:)  cd /usr/ports/net-im/libpurple
 2:)  make config
 3:)  check off all protocols that I wanted pidgin to use, which was all of
 them
 4:)  make install clean distclean
 5:)  libpurple successfully compiled and installed :)
 6:)  pkg-add -r pidgin
 7:)  cd /usr/ports/net-im/pidgin-facebookchat
 8:)  make install clean distclean
 9:)  pidgin-facebookchat successfully compiled and installed
 10:) cd /usr/ports/net-im/pidgin-guifications
 11:) make install clean distclean
 12:) pidgin-guifications successfully compiled and installed
 13:) ran pidgin, or tried to.... got an error message stating it was
 missing libpurple.so.2
 14:) cp /usr/local/lib/libpurple.so /usr/local/lib/libpurple.so.2
 15:) ran pidgin, and this time everything worked like a charm!

 Everything I actually needed was installed by libpurple so it's the
 FreeBSD libpurple package that is missing libmyspace.la, libmyspace.so,
 and I'm sure it's missing a few others.  I don't
 know why they would make the package without what I and am sure others
 would consider those
 valuable protocols, but it looks like they did.  I'll have to figure out a
 way to contact the
 package maintainer for FreeBSD's libpurple and ask that in future versions
 of the libpurple package they include all the protocols.  We'll see where
 that ends up, but thank you for your research into this matter :)
