Is anyone aware of any program that enables me to use MSN and ICQ in the same program at the same time?

You dont have the Qt libraries installed on your system evidently.

Code:
emerge kopete


That should do the trick, as Qt is essential to using Kopete.

As for webcams and mics, no Linux IM supports those as far as I know. It is possible to webcam with people using gnomemeeting, but I dont know exactly how.

From http://kmess.sourceforge.net
Code:
KMess version 1.1 released
KMess now works with GnomeMeeting for compatibility with invitations to use MS's NetMeeting.  This works both ways, allowing NetMeeting to GnomeMeeting invitations, GnomeMeeting to NetMeeting invitations, and GnomeMeeting to GnomeMeeting invitations when both you and your contacts are using KMess.

Does MSN 6.x use an embedded version of NetMeeting or something?

If not, its still sort of useless.
