Yes you can with a simple program called iChat Streaming Icons. It can be found at this address The nice thing about that app is that you can not only use gifs but just about any other type of quicktime playable file. Hope this is around what you are looking for

Doesn't Chax allow animated icons? It's free, as well.

iChat 4 (Leopard) supports animated icons for what it's worth.
