No. There are several instant messenger clients that run ON Linux, though.
It depends which 'distro' and window manager you're using - and the messenger type programs tend to be multi protocol in Linux, so you can connect to MSN, Yahoo, AIM, ICQ etc all from the same program.
In a KDE based distro, you'll usually find 'kopette' and in a Gnome based distro, you'll often find 'pidgin' formerly called GAIM. There are lots of others, just check the package manager
Webcam support is either basic or non existent though
