You're correct - "You may use XChat for Windows for free for 30 days.
If, after this time, you would like to continue using the product, you
are required to register. Registration is a one time fee of ?15.99"

And I cannot see a Mac version on the XChat site. Although there is
XChat Aqua http://sourceforge.net/projects/xchataqua/
