alias char-major-61 lirc_serial

rc.local is fine, if you want you can put also the modprobe line you
were using in the command line into it.
I'd suggest using the full path of the commands (/sbin/modprobe,
/usr/local/sbin/lircd) in the rc.local script because it could be
running with a different PATH variable that doesn't include all the
paths you are used to (or, worse, different ones).
