I think that's more than enough.  The key is a couple things like any 
project..

1) Having a very detailed plan to avoid questions in the first place
2) Selecting students who are qualified
3) Being on irc, but letting them know not to expect instant replies.. 
If more than one mentor is around it can balance out well like any 
normal dev channel.

#osunix is what I'm using for all gsoc stuff now and currently very 
quiet, but some students may pop in and ask questions.  It's also a good 
chance to get to know them and bring them into the community a bit more. 
  This way the gsoc not only goes well, but hopefully they stay as 
contributors.
