I've not tried it on plan9 but I have used weirdX which is a java
XServer

www.jcraft.com/weirdx

it's gpl

as for IM clients well there's Jabber which will communicate with ICQ,
Yahoo IM, AIM & MSN as well as native clients

www.jabber.com

another benefit is the server is available so you can install it at
LAN level and not depend on outside servers. It uses XML as it's
message format so rich text & html etc. all possible as well as much
other stuff - I think the buzz word is "extensible". It's open source (I couldn't find which license but it
says open source all over the place and VA-Linux is something to do
with it).
