There is not. But they can still join an MIT jabber server chat room
using a gmail.com or jabber.org or psfc.mit.edu jabber account. It
doesn't matter which Jabber service the chat room is hosted on, for the
most part.
The situation is somewhat analagous to email. You need a Kerberos
principal to get an mit.edu email account, but interoperating with
non-mit.edu email users is fully transparent.
