Different ports? Why would be using different ports different? They (users) 
need to go out to irc with a different IP each time they connect. In order 
to do that, psybnc needs to use that specific IP when connecting outside to 
the IRC server. I don't see how different ports will change this situation.

Nambased vhosts work for web, I guess, but not for IRC.

Let one correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks for all the replies. 240 IPs is far enough.
