As requested, here are the MSN smilies. Sorry for the dodge hosting, couldn't find anywhere else really. Hopefully it all works fine.
I am going to look into the name issue over the next week possibly. For now I am just adding their name by clicking get info for the contact, sometimes works out better than massive, stupid MSN names stealing screen real estate!
These are the actual smiley images as a zip:

This is the modified plist file you will need:

Now, the instructions to get it working:
Navigate to the applications folder in Finder
Right click iChat and select 'show package contents' > Contents
Select the folder called Resources and
BACK IT UP. Just copy it to somewhere else on your computer so you can just replace the original folder if for some reason my files don't work.
Now open the Resources folder and find all the the old iChat smilies and delete them EXCEPT the love heart...for some reason I forgot to replace this one, so just leave it but be sure to delete all other files or you may have a problem later on with the smilies not showing up in the little smiley box I have found.
Copy all of the smilies in the zip into this folder
After the new smilies (from my .zip file) have been placed in this folder, find the folder within the resources folder named 'English'.
Find the file named 'SmileyTable.plist'
Delete this file and replace it with mine.
Restart iChat and you should see the smilies there, the keyboard shortcuts for iChat will still work but the MSN shortcuts will also work, meaning you can send MSN smilies to users using MSN and they will see them as you do and they can send you their native MSN smilies and you will see them exactly or very close to what they are sending.
Enjoy! Let me know how it goes!
