Why not take a look at NServiceBus?

It's a very stable and mature platform that is built on MSMQ, and has pub/sub right out of the box. Dead easy to get started with, and no need to get your hands dirty with WCF!

As suggested by @marc_s you can use WCF service which can use either NetMSMQ or MSMQIntegrated binding to subscribe to messages in the MSMQ.

If you don't want to introduce WCF service between the Winforms application and the MSMQ, you'll need to build a polling mechanism to check into MSMQ for arrival of new messages.

You could also use WCF to subscribe to messages from an MSMQ queue and handle them as a service method in your WCF service.

You need to look at the types in namespace System.Messaging.

There is full asynchronous support, so you can wait on a message arriving without halting your UI (but you'll need to use Control.BeginInvoke to call back into your UI as normal for asynchronous actions in WinForms).

MSDN has plenty of examples, e.g. of an asynchronous message receive.
