I don't know of any 'mainstream' chat apps, but I have one I wrote for a 
client (gpl licensed) that's ~800 lines and uses SQLite as a data-source 
(would be simple to change to MySQL).  If you want it, let me know and I'll 
put it up somewhere.

But this is simple: the client refreshes every variable number of seconds (say 
1), uses basic html (font, bold, italics, etc) and a bit of browser detection 
magic for frames and font depths.  Something you could probably write in an 
hour ;)
