We have an homebrewed XMPP server and I was asked what is our server's MSL (Maximum Segment Lifetime). What does it mean and how can I obtain it? Is it on the linux /proc TCP settings?

This looks like it can answer your question:

I suggest that you ask why someone asked you this and find out how that applies to XMPP.
TCP/IP Illustrated volume 1 is online and describes 2MSL in more detail: Here
MSL is also described in the TCP RFC 793 as mentioned in wikipedia
