Keep only the default kernel and kernel module. You can safely delete all the 
other flavors, they won't be used.

I don't think that's necessary. I have mythtv under 10.2 and the same remote 
and it works with the stock lirc package (lirc-0.8.0-41).

If you are going to reformat, I would suggest installing 10.2 That works for 
me, at least. I have also tried 10.3 but couldn't find a working X driver for 
my PVR-350.  I didn't get as far as trying the remote, so I can't help with 
that, unfortunately. I'm not going to try upgrading anytime soon, I'm happy 
with how things work under 10.2. I prefer stability with my myth box.
