Yes, it works. It shows "Down" when I press "KEY_DOWN" and so on...

I think I'm getting closer to the problem. I installed mythtv before
lirc, so I thought lirc support might have not been compiled in. So I
just emerged mythtv again and for a split second "lirc support: no"
flashed over my screen before it started compiling. After adding the use
flag "lirc" and re-emerging, I get this

$ mythfrontend --version

Anybody has an idea, why?
