Is there an irc client for Mac that will allow me to set customized
alert tones/sounds for designated highlighted terms? I can do this on
mIRC on pc, but I can't seem to find a similar mac client. Also, mIRC
allows me to open multiple windows for separate channels. Would like
this functionality as well. Clients i've been testing: limechat,
xchat, textual (trial).

Textual is about the best you'll find on Mac OS X. It supports
scripting in a few different languages (although I can't actually
remember which ones). There's a repository on github that you can
compile from to use it for free, although if you enjoy it you should
totally buy it.

Another, slightly more round-about, option would be to install Darwine
and use mIRC on top of it.

Thanks, I'll look into those options.

I'll recommend HexChat, I like it's ease-of-use, personally. It also
came out with an OSX version, albeit supposedly it's a bit buggy.
