I've used it with an IRMan compatible remote that I built 
http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=KC5366&CATID=&keywords=remote+control&SPECIAL=&form=KEYWORD&ProdCodeOnly=&Keyword1=&Keyword2=&pageNumber=&priceMin=&priceMax=&SUBCATID=

Note that you will probably want to use the version of LIRC in 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/86528 which is more up to 
date than the ports one and has some fixes for the (pretty revolting) code 
LIRC uses to lock the serial port.

I have this in /etc/rc.conf...
lircd_enable="YES"
lircd_flags="-H irman -d /dev/cuaa0 /usr/local/etc/lircd.conf"

/usr/local/etc/lircd.conf was generated using irrecord.

I have a patch for mplayer which enables LIRC support on FreeBSD which I 
believe the maintainer will be committing RSN (when I get back to him 
anyway :)
