If you're using the "homebrew" transmitter and receiver then they both 
connect to the same serial port and there is a compilation option for lirc 
that tells it so.  You only run a single lircd which handles everything.
(i.e. you can use the rc command to send an IR signal).
This is what I do and it works very well.
