There is no public interface for iChat plugins. You can, however use
the private interface. Check out the source to iCar at:
http://www.pygmysoftware.com/cgi-bin/product.pl?icar-download
it uses SIMBL to load a bundle into iChat. (SIMBL is a sort of hack to
Apple's inputmanagers.)
You can also use class-dump
(http://www.codethecode.com/Projects/class-dump/) to get the headers
for InstantMessage.framework (Apple's private framework used for
instant messaging)

This can be tricky stuff, and if Apple changes it, you'll have to
update all of your code again. Beware! ;-)
