Here is my /etc/conf.d/lircd - maybe it helps in your case too (:
## Configuration for Technisat USB remote TTS35AI
LIRC_DRIVER="devinput"
## Using dev/input device by name (description)
## because event device node my change.
## To get the 'name' for your USB device
## look at dmesg|tail after pluging it in for a line like:
## input: USB IR Receiver USB IR Receiver as
## /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:10.0/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0/input/input8
## or use  cat /proc/bus/input/devices
## Make shure you have -d "$LIRC_DEVICE" (with quotes !) in your
## init script because of blanks!
LIRC_DEVICE="name=USB IR Receiver USB IR Receiver"
