Sounds like lircd is using the wrong driver--which means you probably 
have a LIRC installation that was compiled with "--driver=any".  Try 
starting lircd with:

lircd --driver=serial

or, in your case, probably you can add "--driver=serial" to LIRCD_OPTS 
in /etc/conf.d/lircd.  (If you prefer short options, use "-H serial" 
instead.)  See man lircd for details.

You can get a list of drivers supported by your installation of LIRC by 
specifying an invalid driver name, i.e.:

lircd --driver=help

HTH.
