Yes, tsocks is sadly ancient, unmaintained, its homepage is gone, etc. See:

http://trac.macports.org/query?summary=~tsocks&status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened


This particular problem could be a matter of the tsocks library not knowing its install_name; you could try:

DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib tsocks irc

or:

DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib tsocks irc

If that works, we can probably fix that in the port.
