I found that after an upgrade, my (Jarod) patch was still applied to rc.sysinit, but my lirc.rules file was empty.  Once I added the line referenced in this thread back into lirc.rules, it fixed my lirc woes.

That's a problem. Seems you don't have any device node for lirc to use. Ah,
the joys of udev... :-\

Hrm, it ought to be getting created automagically when your lirc module gets
loaded. Such is the case on my boxes, then a udev rules file takes care of
symlinking /dev/lirc0 to /dev/lirc.

$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/lirc.rules
KERNEL="lirc0",         SYMLINK="lirc"

Why you aren't seeing a device created, I dunno... lirc_gpio definitely needs
a device node. Alternatively, you can just 'mknod /dev/lirc c 61 0'. Then
also 'mknod /etc/udev/devices/lirc c 61 0' so that it'll get recreated on
reboot.
