The only viable options fitting your description are going to be Java-based.

I have seen Java Applet IRC clients. Normally they run as an applet, but I presume they could be run from WebStart as well.

See: http://kawaii-radio.net/chat/chat.php

For an example.

I presume there are instant messenger-type ones somewhere too.

There may be some "ajax-y" Javascript chat client thing floating around somewhere. However, that's likely to put quite a strain on your web server. Javascript doesn't have networking by default, so everything has to come from/to the original server.
