Yes - all entries in .lircrc will get passed along by irxevent and
perhaps by the native lirc in myth (~/mythtv/lircrc).
You can use multiple entries and multiple lirc clients to do cool
things. We use one myth system as a desktop as well. The power
button on the remote moves the mouse through lircmd to wake up
the screen and sends Ctrl-Tab to the RootWindow through irxevent
to switch desktops, so that you can get to myth if the last person
left the system at the other desktop. I was thinking of linking
a script through irexec to the same button to start myth if it's
not already running, but it never crashes so I haven't bothered.
