Finding a program (irc)

[Michael]

I realized today that I do not have a command line IRC client. So I wanted to install one.

keybounceMBP:macports michael$ port info irc
Error: Port irc not found

Ok, so,
keybounceMBP:macports michael$ port search irc
...
Found 75 ports.

Is there a way to teach ports something in-between too many perl and python packages, and an exact name match? Something that focuses on the end user commands, for example?

(Also, nothing in that list of 75 ports seems to actually be a command line irc client.)
