AIM 4.1 works, but you have to use ResEdit or Resourcerer to edit the server address inside the program. AIM 4.1 lets you change the port in preferences, but after almost every session, I have to change the port to 5190 again because it gets mysteriously changed to 5191 (usually), 80 (once), or some random three digits (once).
AIM 4.7 lets you change the server address in preferences and has loads more options. It even lets you save sets of preferences (for other screennames or just to try a very different config). But so far, it doesn't connect for me, because it gets stuck on authenticating.
Netscape 7 with built-in AIM lets you change the server address, and works perfectly. No need to keep putting the port back to 5190. But sometimes Netscape 7 will lock up the whole machine and you have to just use the power button to force it to reboot.

[EDIT 1: O! Hey! I forgot that I can configure Netscape 7 to launch its built-in AIM without also showing a browser window! It's almost like having a stand-alone working AIM! I'll have to see if I can launch Classilla browser while Netscape 7's AIM is running, though; I know I can't launch Netscape 7's browser while Classilla is running.]
[EDIT 2: Nope, can't launch Classilla while Netscape 7 has only its AIM window open if you have only one user configured in the browser. Trying to makes Classilla show a window asking you to choose a user profile, and shows a padlock on the one that's in-use. So, I guess if you keep two profiles…]
