There is a great video demonstration how to get Skype running on Raspberry Pi: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqH54GyRdys
And detailed instructions are provided here: http://elinux.org/RPi_Using_Skypekit

4Should probably qualify the answer to mention that you can get Skype voice calls to work through the SDK, however not yet the Skype client or video.– user3189Nov 6, 2012 at 12:35

It should be noted that this is outdated for two reasons: (1) Skype ceased supporting 32-bit systems and (2) Eltechs ceased selling Exagear Desktop. Sep 13, 2019 at 12:30
If you need Skype as a chat client only, a much easier way to do is it is through a Pidgin plugin that's using Skype Web internally. You can download the plugin compiled for the RPi from http://www.zhekov.org/articles/2/skype-chat-on-raspberry-pi
At the moment (this date) the only option is to install Android then use the Skype APK. Not all webcam work, but basic Skype function are available.
