OK, I'm a step further forward now; I upgraded to kernel 2.4.17, switched
the BIOS back to FIR and put IR port on 0x3f8/IRQ4/DMA3. My modules.conf
now contains:

alias irda0 smc-ircc
options smc-ircc ircc_dma=3 ircc_irq=4

As far as I can see, modprobe'ing irda0 brought it to life. irdadump shows 
packets from a Nokia 6210, so I guess all is well.

Right, moving on...
