Ack. No, no, no, and did I mention no? You don't need to rebuild the 
kernel from source. If you want to compile lirc from source yourself, 
it works for me to simply drop my appropriate kernel .config file in 
/usr/src/linux-2.4/, then go to town with the lirc source. You *might* 
have to also run make dep (editing the Makefile to remove the "custom" 
tag first), but you certainly don't need to recompile the entire 
kernel.

And the easy way to get the problem fixed is:

# apt-get install lirc-kmdl-`uname -r`=0.7.0-20_cvs20040208
