This is what I had done, successfully. No irda support here.

I don't know why this directory should be created (I don't have it),  
but it can't be done because root access is required, and portage is  
running as the portage user. If you want it to run as root, have a  
look at the FEATURES line in /etc/make.conf. I don't know the  
difference between sandbox, usersandbox and userpriv, but removing  
them should do it. But remember that this is a security feature that  
you are disabling.

You could also try to install the newer version of lirc via
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge lirc , maybe the error is gone then?
