Well, my xbox isn't up at the moment so I can't check that, but on the 
frontend that I had to build lirc for I have this:

root at mythfe1:~# ls -la /dev/lirc*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 5 Oct  5 19:29 /dev/lirc -> ttyS0
srw-rw-rw-  1 root root 0 Nov  1 08:16 /dev/lircd
prw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Oct  5 19:29 /dev/lircm


Obviously it's a serial port IR receiver.
