Steps to install ircd 2.8.21 on FreeBSD:


Step 1.  Make sure following entrys are in /etc/services file:
irc             6667/tcp   #Internet Relay Chat Protocol
irc             6667/udp   #Internet Relay Chat Protocol

Step 2.  Make sure following entry is in /etc/inetd.conf file:
irc     stream  tcp     nowait  irc     /usr/local/bin/ircd ircd -o

Step 3.  Install a ircd.conf file into /usr/local/lib/ircd
         with valid information, Eg: valid  M: anA: lines:
M:enky.mxim.com:*:Enkys Home Computer:6667
A:Enkys Home Computer:Main Client Server:Michael Enkelis <michaele@enky.mxim.com>


That should enable the irc daemon, at least for me.
