You can use EFNet/dalnet's ircd, check in /usr/ports/irc or packages/irc.
if you dont need nick-registrations ircu will probaly work better, you can
install GNUWorld with web-interface and get "Undernet's X".

If you host the domain yourself(DNS) and using BIND you can add to zone-file:
irc IN A your.ip.address
or
irc IN CNAME your.hostname.
If you dont host it yourself, you need to do it where you have registered
the domain. Most have a web-interface to do it.
