I believe that MSN Messenger dynamically allocates ports.  I know this
is true for audio and video communications.  The standard SIP port is
5060 if that helps.

One more thing to clarify.

I think by blocking the SIP port you could stop Messenger from receiving
contact presence information and hence, block Messenger.
