Yes, I sync my Palm IIIxe using IR to my T40 and it works fine.  The IIIxe 
only has SIR (115200 bps), not FIR, which I guess is fine, since I don't 
know how to make FIR work either.

Here's what I do on my particular computer; you probably have to do 
different things.  Of course, a lot of these things could be automated.

modprobe ircomm
modprobe irtty_sir
/etc/init.d/irda start
mknod /dev/ircomm0 c 161 0
chmod 666 ircomm0

(since I run devfs, ircomm0 keeps on getting killed).

Here's my irda.conf:

#irda.conf Version: 1.0
IRDADEV=/dev/ttyS1
#DONGLE= # specify dongle type
DISCOVERY=-s
ENABLE=yes # if you do not need to start irattach, set "no"

To sync my palm, I run pilot-xfer -p /dev/ircomm0 -b <directory>
