As far as I know (but I don't know Silverlight all that well), it supports only the basicHttpBinding.

And even if Silverlight did support MSMQ - this is definitely not a good protocol to use when you're creating a chat application. The queue can buffer messages and deliver them later. That works well in many scenarios, but when I chat with someone, I want my message to show up right away - not "some time later".....

So if you really need to use MSMQ in some way, I think you'd have to have a BasicHttp-based front-end service that goes from your Silverlight client to the server, and then on the server actually route your message forward to a MSMQ queue.
