A version for Macintosh has been requested before. Previous replies included

Patchou himself replied as well to such threads:

A forum search for '"mac " and "Patchou" shows that there's very little hope for you, sorry :)

I don't know if you've noticed but the company that creates MSN Messenger and thus pays for the bandwidth used by said application is also the company that creates the Windows operating system, to which MacOS is a rival. It is not exactly in Microsoft's best interests to be creating amazing software for MacOS, so you should probably be thankful that you have an MSN Messenger client at all ;)
