That depends on what you want to do.  If all you're looking to do is
receive signals from a remote, do a search at Jameco for infrared.

They have Sharp's GP1U26X, which takes 5v and spits out decoded
IR which it receives modulated at ~38 kHz, IIRC.

If you want IRDA, it becomes more complex.  Microchip's MCP2155
and MCP2150 will do the stack handling for you, and a transceiver
module can be readily found from Digikey.
