On 12.10 it seems like you need to install account-plugin-irc Install account-plugin-irc package to use IRC in Empathy. Perhaps this will solve the problem on earlier versions of Ubuntu (such as 12.04) as well.

You do not need an account to chat on Freenode. Just add an IRC "account" on Empathy and enter a nick. To join a channel, go to Join Room.
