OTR doesn't actually do this; rather than sending messages that will be
ignored by clients that don't speak OTR, it first detects whether the
other client speaks OTR, and if so, only then sends the message.  As far
as I understand, Trillian's encryption does the same thing; I don't know
of a way to do what you want.
