My own application will use libpurple. Since libpurple is GPL'd, I wonder if I could use MIT or BSD license for my application?

A:
No. If you link against a GPL library, your application must be GPL.

As an addition to what is already mentioned above: if you can create a process boundary, i.e. write a separate wrapper process that uses GPL code and exposes it for instance via sockets, your own code can be in a different license.
