I guess that starting lircd with the -l flag, and then pushing the 
appropriate commands onto the LIRC port (default 8765) would do what you 
are asking for. For example

echo SEND_ONCE REMOTE COMMAND | netcat LIRCSERVER 8765

where LIRCSERVER is the (resolvable) ip-name, or an ip-address of the 
lirc-server.

I have a fix for irsend that will allow you to use irsend for that 
purpose too. I will submit it to the maintainer.
