Gnomemeeting and Netmeeting are H323 applications.
A quick Google came up with a tip that you have to use one
of the menus in iChat to revert to version 1 
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/16887&page=7

You'll need to Google for how to set your firewall up for
Netmeeting (I'd guess the others then wil work).

Quick Google found:
    * Pass through primary TCP connections on ports 522, 389, 1503, 1720 
and 1731.
    * Pass through secondary UDP connections on dynamically assigned ports 
(1024-65535).
