I thought the IR device could only be opened by one process, and that that was the whole point of lircd in the first place? Although I don't know, and haven't looked into it that much.

If RaeMote was an app (and not a widget), this would be much easier - it could just display a prompt if the user wants to keep the IR daemon running with the option to "always kill lircd on exit".
