No, speaking from experience freenode sends 127.0.0.1 if you're on their
blacklist, torified or no. They're also very slow to update; I've not
been running my exit for some time, but for a long time I was still
forced to use the hidden service. I'd probably still be banned if I
hadn't had to reboot my router.
