I use Pidgin at my netbook (Windows) and work (again Windows) and sync their accounts settings using Dropbox (by syncing their .purple folder as described here). I want to have Adium on my Mac do the same. I created a symbolic link from "/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Adium 2.0/Users/Default/libpurple" to my ".purple" folder in DropBox, but alas, it doesn't work.

Is it possible? They are both based on libpurple.

libpurple, from my understanding, is used to deal with the protocols themselves and not necessarily the settings. I did a bit of searching around and there was talk at one time of trying to sync them up, but nothing became of it. So as far as settings go, I think you're stuck with having two separate things.
