     You're right, this isn't possible--the ircd doesn't know anything
about ChanServ settings, and there's no method in the IRC protocol for a
server to query Services about whether a user is permitted to join a
channel before actually sending out the JOIN message.

     On the other hand, most modern ircds have a +R channel mode which
prevents any users without user mode +r (registered nick) from entering the
channel.  Services only sets +r on users once they identify, so on an ircd
with these modes available, setting a +R mode lock would have the effect of
preventing users who haven't identified from entering the channel.
