Yes, you need ircomm(1) from the birda package and an unused PTY, e.g. ttypf:

ircomm -d /dev/cuaa0 -m 115200 -y /dev/ptypf &

After starting ircomm this way you should be able to use the ppp(8)
configuration example for GPRS given on Randy Bush's homepage
(http://www.psg.com/~randy) (replace /dev/cuaa0 with /dev/ttypf
in the "set device ..." line and the APN with the correct APN
for your network operator in AT+CDGCONT=...).

To make sure that IR communication to the phone works you might want to
start ircomm with -v 3 first:

ircomm -d /dev/cuaa0 -m 115200 -y /dev/ptypf -v 3&

and check with cu or kermit that sending of AT commands works:

cu -l ttypf -s 115200
Connected.
AT+CGMM
Motorola 6288

OK
