I also installed the conferencing transport today and suprisingly managed it
to install with any problem.
I just downloaded directly from download.jabber.org from the cvs directory
and then compile the .so and added the following in the jabber.xml:

<conference type="private" jid="conference.mydomain.net" name="Private Conferencing"/>

<service id="conference">
  <load>
    <groupchat>/usr/local/jabber/conferencing/src/groupchat.so</groupchat>
  </load>
  <host>conference.mydomain.net</host>
</service>

I also used JabberIM but v0.9.6 because v1.1 is somehow buggy !

Hope that will help you installing it at your side
