Exactly! Err not quite exactly, a few nits ;-) I would do:

<HTML>
<FRAMESET ROWS="150,*">
    <FRAME SRC="index.pl?node=ad_and_talk&displaytype=raw" MARGINWIDTH
+=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 SCROLLING=NO NORESIZE>
    <FRAMESET COLS="80%,20%">
        <FRAMESET ROWS="*,100,50">
            <FRAME SRC="index.pl?node=showchatmessages&displaytype=raw
+">
            <FRAME SRC="index.pl?node=showprivatemessages&displaytype=
+raw&type=superdoc">
            <FRAME SRC="index.pl?node=talk+links&displaytype=raw">
        </FRAMESET>
        <FRAME SRC="index.pl?node=showotherusers&displaytype=raw">
    </FRAMESET>
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>
[download]

Other than that I would just suggest:

Not doing the frameset for showother users if they have the users nodelet disabled
UPDATE: Actually just make this optional. I guess I'd rather have the user list show up here and *not* on the main pages...
Reversing the order of messages in showchatmessages
Configurable refresh(for each refreshing section? or global?) 30 sec is a touch high and makes it a little hard to read large/concurrent messages. It also might incur to much server load?

UPDATE: I've also run into a weird bug. After a few reloads of an empty privatemessage frame the frame changes to an embedded chatter (as in the whole frameset)
