patch-source_window.c was apparently added to fix a logging issue in 20141122. However, 20151120 fixes the same issue in a different way, and the now-obsolete patch file is not removed from the port, so the patch _breaks_ logging rather than fixing it. To reproduce: with no other options configured, use /set logfile irc.log and /set log on to enable logging, join a channel and talk, observe that nothing is logged except messages not directed to any window. To fix: remove files/patch-source_window.c
You're absolutely right, Andrew. I don't use ircII anymore. Would you like to maintain the port?

I don't use this anymore, so I'm donating it back to ports@.

Fixed in r437472 (forgot to link the PR in that commit, sorry Andrew), and merged to quarterly. I'm closing the PR but if you'd like to take maintainership of the port, send me an email or reopen the PR.
I guess I'll take the maintainership on in the absence of some other victim...
