In SVN trunk, if your mythfrontend has LIRC support compiled in, you 
should see something like:

2006-11-09 20:19:42.986 lirc init success using configuration file: 
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc

upon starting mythfrontend if you've configured everything correctly.

If using 0.20 fixes, there's no "success" message, but (in basically any 
version--including SVN head), you should see something like:

2006-11-09 20:19:42.986 Failed to read lirc config 
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc for ...

if your lircrc file doesn't exist and the mythfrontend is compiled with 
LIRC support.  If you don't get that message, by my reading, it should 
mean that you don't have LIRC support compiled in.

Did you compile yourself?  Did you check the configure output (as 
opposed to assuming that LIRC was there because you said, "--enable-lirc")?
