New description:

 silc-client can be complied as a plugin for irssi. To enable this I
 altered the port file to add to the configure options:
 {{{
                         --disable-asm \
 +                        --with-silc-plugin=${prefix}/lib/irssi \
 +                        --without-silc-includes
 }}}
 Ideally this would be a varient and have a dependancy on irssi.

 I then needed to bodge the files in /opt/local/lib/irssi/modules to make
 the module loading work
 {{{
  sudo ln -s libsilc_core.dylib libsilc_core.so
  sudo ln -s libfe_common_silc.dylib libfe_common_slic.so
 }}}
 I'm sure all of this could be done better, but the functionality is very
 useful.

Comment:

 Hmm, so irssi won't load them unless they are named with .so?  On the Mac
 either dylibs or so's can be dlopen()ed so obviously the symlink will
 work, but maybe we could update irssi to open either file type?
