Could you imagine any way to open a dcc chat with eggdrop without being on irc?

I could use telnet. But telnet doesn`t look grapical nice. Mosttimes i use mirc and dcc chat. Thats what i mean with 'looking nice'.

But is it possible to get an dcc chat without being on the same irc server? Or without being on irc (me and/or eggdrop)?

It is possible. You need to consult your client's documentation on DCC and specifying remote address/port.

/help dcc

I no longer use mirc, however, it used to support ip/port arguments in the command. In other terms, DCC chat used to handle connections similar to telnet.

Mirc doesn`t really support telnet. It supports dcc chats. I could input
/dcc chat ip port
Mirc will send 100 clientnickname (100 myircnickname)
The eggdrop will show a errormessage:
Refused telnet@myhost (invalid handle: 100 ircnickname)

It works nearly. Perhaps i should ask for it in the mirc forums. With some minor changes this could be possible.
