Many, if not all, clients offer away/status features that allow you to
stay online but indicate that you'd rather not receive IMs.

Gajim, for example. If you set status to "Busy" it will not pop up
messages received, but friends will still see you online and be able
to send messages. (Actually, once nice thing about Jabber is the
ability to send messages to other Jabber users even when they're
offline....)

Best,

Zonker
