According to the source, the file is checked in two locations:
~/.myth/lircrc
~/.lircrc
(mythmainwindow.cpp lines 59 and 61 from SVN trunk)

The program string is 'mythtv'.

Not sure on this one... never tried irxevent for MythTV.

Make double-sure that Myth was successfully built with lirc support.
Do something like this to check:
# ldd /usr/bin/mythfrontend |grep lirc
liblirc_client.so.0 => /usr/lib/liblirc_client.so.0 (0xb5e90000)
Also do:
# mythfrontend --version
Source code version : 14501M
SVN Branch : trunk
Library API version : 0.21.20070910-2

Options compiled in:

Make sure you see 'using_lirc' in your compiled in options.
