I know you specified MSN - and for that I don't have a solution (not
because there isn't a solution - there may well be! - but because I'm not
familiar with MSN and have no desire to extend my knowledge of grossly
deficient and unsatisfctory MS kludges :-)
Instead I recommend you consider Gaim. It directly supports Socks5 (and
so can be torified). It also supports encryption (OTR and Gaim
Encryption).
It also has a few small fillips such as not responding to CTCP TIME
requests (which can partially disclose your location unless your machine
keeps UTC time).
Regards,
PS If you're determined to stick with MSN you might want to look into
Torcap2, a general-purpose socks4a (no DNS leaking) socksifier specifically
for Tor.

I've never experimented with this for instant messaging so you're into
terra incognita.
