"This is simply a build problem: while the lirc source has iguanaIR support available and this driver is included when lirc is built with the --with-driver=userspace flag, the build of iguanaIR requires a header to build, and because this header is not available when lirc is built, the support is not included in standard ubuntu package.

So, the standard configure is just skipping iguanaIR because the header is not available."

Seems like we would need to find somebody willing to create and maintain a iguanaIR package. Given that there isn't even such a package in the AUR, chances that this happens are very low, sorry... Please build your own custom lirc package for now.
