Probably the closest I've seen is cIRCus. It's a bit clunky though.

If you're using a dynamic IP net account, it'll suit you fine.

It's more of a pig to get working properly if you've got a fixed IP
address and you're used to running X as root. It can take a bit of
tweaking before you'll be able to have it running satisfactorily as a
user. More info on the discussion forums at the above URL.

I haven't played around with BitchX (a shell for good old ircII), but,
that may also be worth investigating.
