I suggest Jitsi [1]. It is an open source audio/video and chat  
software written in Java that supports multiple protocols including  
SIP. Specifically, the former name of it was SIP Communicator.

It was listed as a wanted port in Wiki and in the beginning of  
December I submitted it as a new port in GNATS. If you want to install  
it on your system and test it, please download from the PR [2] the  
jitsi.shar file and install it as usual (make install clean).
