The irssiproxy I'm referring to is not a standard IRC proxy.
Irssiproxy is described in the "Irssi proxy" section at:

  http://irssi.org/documentation/startup#c10

and

  http://irssi.org/documentation/proxy

Relevant parts of my config file are pasted at bottom.

In my current tree, it looks like irc/irssi just redirects to
irc/irssi-devel.  But I tried it and got the same results.

I also tried grabbing the source tarball directly from the irssi.org
site and building that, both with and without the --enable-ipv6 and
got the same results. (This happens with both the default proxy bind
address and overriding it with 127.0.0.1.)

I'm running 6.1-STABLE with a current and upgraded ports tree.

I ran an strace on the irssi session and looked for the bind() calls.
Here's what I found:

  bind(4, {sa_family=AF_UNSPEC,
    sa_data="\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\364\305"}, 16) = 0

The call seems to be successful, but I don't know enough about bind()
infer any more than that.  It's the sa_family value that seems
unusual.

That didn't look right.  I ran an strace on the same irssi with the
same config on the system that does work (Debian/testing) and got:

  bind(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(3777),
    sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16) = 0

HTH,
