How many of them do you need? ;-)

Probably :-)

In principle, all software available for Debian is compiled for all
architectures, including m68k, and including irc servers.

There are of course exceptions, i.e. in the case where a given
application does not compile on a given architecture (due to bugs in the
application, or due to embedded assembly language); but in general,
everything is available everywhere.

In this particular case:

ska:~# cat /proc/hardware

Of course, those aren't all IRC daemons, but this list should get you
started.
