You probably want to pass all traffic from localhost to localhost,

  add 100 pass all from any to any via lo0
  add 200 deny log all from any to 127.0.0.0/8

  add pass ip from <your IP> to any out via ed0 keep-state

And have a check-state rule somewhere else.

Allow these in? Yuk, but OK,

  add pass tcp from any to <your IP> 80 in via ed0
  add pass tcp from any to <your IP> 194 in via ed0

Actually, you probably need some other open ports to get IRC
working. I've never set one up, so I dunno more.

Have you looked at the /etc/rc.firewall on your system yet?
