Yes and no, you do need an icon-theme but, it doesn't have to be adwaita.
Here's what I have,
==========
$ ls -lp /usr/pkg/share/icons/
total 12
drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel  512 Feb  3 09:27 HighContrast/
drwxr-xr-x  13 pin   wheel  512 Feb 15 17:33 Orange-Aurora/
drwxr-xr-x  17 root  wheel  512 Feb 16 19:46 hicolor/

I don't know about gajim, I simply don't use chat applications.
I've moved most of my applications over to Qt5 and, currently have only a few
gtk3 applications left on my system but, those (firefox, galculator, gnumeric
and Gimp) all work perfectly fine without adwaita-icon-theme. There're no gtk2
applications left on my system, so I'm not saying anything about those.

Also,
==========
$ pkg_info | grep gnome
$
==========
