After you create the message box you can get the widget id of one of its
children by calling XmMessageBoxGetChild.  You can then unmanage the child
widget of the message box.

  Ex:

  XtUnmanageChild( XmMessageBoxGetChild(myMessageBox, XmDIALOG_CANCEL_BUTTON));
  XtUnmanageChild( XmMessageBoxGetChild(myMessageBox, XmDIALOG_HELP_BUTTON));

This will unmanage both the help and cancel buttons of the message box.
