running ircd on freebsd

[yawstick]

I have tried quite a few ircd packages now and only tr-ircd stays running
and creates log files. Its reporting a problem creating the listen socket
which is likely ailing all of them. Is ipv6 required for running ircd? I
have modified the ircd.conf for each as best I knew how. Have a bunch of
them now.
