No.  But this is about to be:

+
+    <h2><a name="irc">IRC</a></h2>
+
+    <p>There is <strong>no</strong> official FreeBSD support IRC channel.
+      There are, however, a number of IRC channels that have ``freebsd'' in the
+      channel name.  The FreeBSD Project is not involved with, nor does it
+      endorse, any of these channels.  Do not interpret ``freebsd'' in a
+      channel name as meaning that the channel has anything to do with
+      FreeBSD, as anyone can create an IRC channel and call it anything they
+      want.</p>

Now, would all you IRC weenies please devote your energies to going 
through the PR database instead?  You'll be much more appreciated if you 
do.
