Hey Pablo... I'm just looking into this myself. This page has an example circuit (but for a different chip to mine 
) which I'm thinking of basing my design on... Looks like it might take a few hours of pouring over data sheets to make sure the pins used and programming sequence is right. I have seen someone else successfully do this for yet another chip I'm not using, so there are success stories out there... hopefully we will be in that group soon too 
.
Pleasantly Clueless: Using an Arduino as a PIC programmer

yet more (and eevblog is brilliant, haven't read this one yet but it's usually good stuff there):

So anyone telling you it can't be done has not looked very hard.
