I've deleted the gp post, but the program they are thinking of for Mac that's based on Gaim (Pidgin is an awful name) is Adium. I believe itsupports IRC just like gaim does. This is nice because you can use oneprogram for all your instant messenger needs and also because you can treat IRC users as normal buddies.
Adium does not support IRC.
