Well, it's not perfect at the moment - but I think my extensions to
gaim-remote (which are still under development, and need more proper
coding) might help you out here:
http://knuth.mville.edu/~john/gaim/gaim-remote/
The patch is question would be "g-r_14dec03.diff", and it will let you
send messages from a shell script.  The usage of the command would be:
gaim-remote send --from=YourScreenName --to=DestinationSN \
	--protocol=prpl-yahoo --message="Hello World!"

I hope this is of some use to you.

Cheers,
John
