I don't think so. This would be akin to the following problem and solution:
</tongue location="cheek">
I have a person who speaks only German that I would like to be able to speak to someone who speaks only French. My intention is to create a device that takes German in and outputs French so that the Frenchman can understand it. Likewise, once the Frenchman responds, his response will be translated back into German so that he can understand it
Solution: Just have the German call the Frenchman directly.
</tongue/>
My point here is that MSN and ssh are two different protocols, so expecting to have an ssh server be able to understand MSN is like what I've stated above: not likely to work.

I presume(d) that you could use your own laptop for this (maybe wrong). If so, then you can type `ssh -p $MSN_PORT $SERVER` in your favourite shell.
Your SSH daemon doesn't need to understand MSN Messenger protocols.
Please explain to me why this would be such a big problem. I don't see where the whole protocol comes into play. As long as they have some kind of router, routing your packets from your laptop to your server, I'd be happy.
Or to put it in your crazy example:
I have a parcel that I need to bring from point A to point B. There's a direct route that I can walk, but somehow someone suggested me to give it to the German guy, who will give it to the French guy.

My impression of the OPs request was to be able to type a command in MSN Messenger. A message in the MSN protocol would go to a program that the OP is trying to write which would then talk to his ssh server on the other side. ssh would then send something back through the program to his MSN after which the loop would start anew.
