While I haven't set up an IRC server before, I think it should be possible, but it would be a standalone service. I don't think it could be connected to DALnet, Freenode, etc. because those services wouldn't have a way to interface with you since they wouldn't understand how to connect to Tor and probably wouldwouldn't allow that anyway.

Using this tutorial, you can see that this server is set up on port 6697. You would create an onion service on port 6697 like any other onion service.

I've created all kinds of onion services just to see if I could from telnet to gopher. They all work on pretty much the same principal. The only thing that won't work are services that rely on UDP (like Mosh) instead of TCP.
