About 15-20% of all base monsters in hell have magic resistance (counting only the number of lines in monstats.txt, which doesn't account for relative rarity but which includes some nonexistant monsters). Magic damage can definitely be resisted.
One nice skill against PIs is lightning bolt. It requires the use of a javelin and has a 3/4 damage penalty, but it converts all physical damage to lightning, even with a single point investment. So if you don't mind carrying a high-damage javelin in your alt weapon slot, lightning bolt is a very easy way to get some elemental damage.
