Using the ms2dtsExporterPlus exporter, just set the 'Billboard' flag for the mesh.

Make sure you orient your mesh properly though (can't remember which view you need to orient to.. front or side) , or you won't be able to see it as it'll always be facing the wrong way ;-)
So if you can't see it, 1st thing to do would be rotate it in Milkshape and re-export... Took me a couple of attempts to do it.
