Hi,
I would also like to add that in my experience with IrDA and porting
from Windows to Mac OS, a big problem is that Winsock
hides some of the details you'd need to do a TinyTP-based IrDA app
on the Mac. (I'm guessing that you've got TinyTP-/Winsock-based code as
opposed to something that references a serial port.)
While this makes it really easy to create a simple IrDA app on
Windows, it also makes it incredibly difficult to port unless you
know all of the protocol details already.
The end result would be that even if you wanted to create your own
TinyTP stack on which to mount your code, there would still be a
number of missing pieces that could be more work than they're worth.

X? Where should I start?
AFAIK the only support for IrDA on Mac OS X is for IrCOMM. This acts
like a serial port, so you can access using the standard serial APIs.
