As far as I know the only messenger program that supports it for MSN is aMSN at the moment. Adium has a feature that lets you use webcam, but it does it via the browser

Run it under VM and use the windows client.

Mercury Messenger allows you to use it, not the nicest of programs though.

The Mac Messenger 'Beta' has been floating about since before Snow Leopard. It's not actually an official beta, more like an alpha... allows multiple presence, and webcam... but i have found it hogging my CPU and reverted to 7.

aMSN and Mercury both manage it, but they're shockingly awful interfaces.
