I had/have this problem.  Something about my startup order was causing 
it, or the hardware wasn't ready for it to start.  I ended up putting it 
at the end of my rc.local file to start there using:

setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none
insmod -f pctel
insmod -f ptserial
modprobe lirc_serial
/usr/local/sbin/lircd -d /dev/lirc/0

If I did the setserial followed immediately by the modprobe lirc_serial, 
it would fail, even if I left off the pctel modem insmods.  Placing the 
loading of my pctel modem drivers between solved it for me, apparently 
offering just enough delay.
