OS X has a bunch of IRC clients, none of them are really as big in popularity as mIRC is for windows, instead they're spread out among a few different clients.
The one of the more well known IRC clients for OS X is Xchat Aqua (http://sourceforge.net/projects/xchataqua/). This is the same as the Windows and Linux version of XChat, only built for OS X Aqua interface. You can use the TCL, Python, Perl, and Ruby scripts.
Another IRC client for OS X is Conversation (http://homepage.mac.com/philrobin/conversation/). Conversation's fairly easy to set up - open accounts and enter information. It supports using AppleScript to set up various scripts - displaying iTunes song or system info for example.
A third IRC client for OS X is Colloquy (http://colloquy******/) Colloquy also supports SILC Connections (Secure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SILC_%28protocol%29)Internet Live Conferencing protocolAgain it's fairly easy to set up and supports AppleScript for creating Scripts. It's got a fairly large amount of extra's to choose from, more theme's then xchat aqua or conversation, but less scripts then xchat aqua.
Snak (http://www.snak.com/) Is another option. This client is the easiest to script as it comes with a large amount of presets and an option to automate stuff. It's also really easy to set everything up with Snak. Worth checking out if your just starting IRC.
There's a bunch of other irc clients for OS X - if you want, there's a decent list located Here (http://www.valinor.sorcery.net/clients/platforms-macos.html).
