As of right now, no lirc service is provided by NixOS, You can start the LIRC Daemon manually like this:

$ lircd --listen -n  -P /var/run/lircd.pid  -o /var/run/lirc.sock -d /dev/lirc0

You can build upon this to create your own service with sytemd.services.

-== Enable LIRC support in the kernel ==
-Currently (2018-07-23) the NixOS kernel is not compiled with LIRC support, therefore no <code>/dev/lirc0</code> will appear when you add an IR receiver.
-To enable LIRC support for NixOS you will need to recompile your kernel with <code>CONFIG_LIRC=y</code>.
-With NixOS the <code>boot.kernelPatches</code> option can be used:
-<syntaxHighlight lang=nix>
-{ lib, ... }:
-{
-  boot.kernelPatches = lib.singleton {
-    name = "enable-lirc";
-    patch = null;
-    extraConfig = ''
-      LIRC y
-    '';
-  };
-}
