Try Silc (silcnet.org). I've been using it with friends for a few months now 
on our own server & channels. You can't connect to any irc server, the silc 
network is its own thing, but the number of nodes is growing, and you can 
always just set it up privately for you and your clients. Everything is 
encrypted using public/private keys automatically, including server to server 
communication for building up the network.

The silc client itself supports most of the basic irssi functionality, like 
private messages, modes, ops etc. There are pidgin and kopete plugins, and 
whatever the big irc gui on mac is, it has a plugin too.
