I have had my Lifetec LT9388 webcam (ov511 driver) working on aMSN. http://www.amsn-project.net/ I built it from a source tarball on FC5, and just looked at the livna repo, but it doesn't appear to be available there for FC5, or FC6. May be worth a look on the aMSN site. I don't think I tried the webcam on Kopete. Oh yes I did, and have just looked on Debian that has Kopete 0.12.3 (Using KDE 3.5.5), and all I get is a strange green background with an odd black sort of logo on it, when looking in config>devices with the webcam selected as default. If you've got yahoo working with the webcam on Kopete, you've obviously got further than me, but it does work on aMSN. Nigel.
