mIRC is practically free. I don't think it will shut down or anything if you don't register it. It's not that great, but it is used by a lot of people.
Xchat is okay, and totally free.
I don't know if it's still around but there used to be an IRC client called pIRCh.

Of course, there's also always the option of sshing to a linux box and using irssi.
