Where are you trying to install iChat from .... an iLife disc? Do you have iLife ('06 or '08) installed on your MBP? Just trying to garner the necessary info to take this further .... If iChat is already installed, is it showing in your Applications folder but is greyed out?

My bad, got mixed up with the iLife suite of apps, thinking iChat was one of them .... Download Pacifist and use it to extract iChat from your install disc. Is that the advice Apple gave you that failed?

*EDIT*

I just found this link
