You can use the perc()x(field) function. More information:

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/5.0.2/SearchReference/CommonStatsFunctions

Example:
Let's say that your field OK="Message ok". Then, you could use the perc(x)(field) function as follow:

earliest=-1d@d latest=@d index=main sourcetype=messages|stats perc95(ok)

earliest=-7d@d latest=@d index=main sourcetype=messages|timechart span=d perc95(ok)
