I was by coincidence just looking through the tutorial that FreeBSD provides 
for doing this, and it only allows ports 80 (web) and 21 (ftp).  Edit 
/etc/firewall/fwrules (or /etc/rc.firewall if you use it instead) and add, 
after the line $fwcmd add allow tcp from any to any 22 setup, the following:
$fwcmd add allow tcp from any to any port-number setup
where port-number is replaced by the port number you want to allow.
(I think irc is port 529, but you should make sure by checking in 
/etc/services).
