Naturally, there are plenty:

$ apt-cache search msn
amsn - An MSN messenger written in tcl
ayttm - Universal Instant Messaging Client
bitlbee - An IRC to other chat networks gateway
gaim-guifications - toaster popups for gaim
gotmail - utility to download email from a Hotmail or MSN account
hotsmtp - smtp to Hotmail (HTTPmail) gateway
hotway - pop3 to Hotmail (HTTPmail) gateway
jabber - Daemon for the jabber.org Open Source Instant Messenger
jabber-dev - Daemon for the jabber.org Open Source Instant Messenger
jabber-msn - Provides the MSN transport for the Jabber IM server
kmerlin - Instant messaging (IM) client for the MSN messenger network
kopete - Instant messenger program
reaim - Enable AIM and MSN file transfer on Linux iptables based NAT
centericq - A text-mode multi-protocol instant messenger client

(data files)

centericq-utf8 - A text-mode multi-protocol instant messenger client
gaim - multi-protocol instant messaging client

As you can see, some of them are relevant.

IRC folks may consider using bitlbee . What I currently miss the most
about it, is decent logging on the (bitlbee) server side. Because I want
to be able to easily switch from one IRC client to another (e.g: to
bitchx in a remote connection).

This, along with a good IRC client, is another altrernative.
