I suggest switching to Matrix. It's very close to IRC experience (but better), and it is more easily decentralizable. And it also works as bouncer.
The nice thing about Matrix is that it does not need to be exclusive. MacPorts can maintain a Matrix room (e.g. #macports:matrix.org) that can bridge to e.g. #macports on freenode (despite all the recent hoopla, I don't think Freenode is going anywhere and there's no reason to pull the rug out from under people who choose to stay) as well as #macports on liberachat or elsewhere. There is even a Matrix/RocketChat bridge [1].
