Jabber accounts are separate from the Linux accounts.  They are simple
username.xml files.  You can write the file yourself and place it in the
user spool directory or you can have them register themselves.  You can
write scripts to automate this, or may be able to find them here from
some other generous admin.

It is a matter of simply injecting XML into the stream through a client.
There are examples of broadcast messages in the admin documentation  <at> 
jabber.org I believe that would help you understand what I mean (it's
simple really). You can also use a client like tkabber that has
administrative features and automates this.  I'm not sure, but I don't
think broadcast messages would go to non-jabber clients.  That might
take some special work.  I don't personally use gateways.

It's not needed, but might make life easier on you if you know anything
about shell scripting.  Jabber XML is pretty easy to understand if you
have any markup background like HTML.  If not, it's easy to get used to
IMHO.
