Serial.read() -- can i read a single bit?

hej,

i trying sync synth project gameboy color running lsdj, using serial communication on infrared light. gameboy has ir port, due low processing power of gameboy, quite hard generate required 38khz carrier wave required, let alone generate the required 2400 baud serial bytes.
a solution sync problem blink ir led on every step of gameboy sequencer...

is there way blinks accepted bits ir receiver, , read serial.read()??

example of ir setup here: http://tthheessiiss.wordpress.com/2009/08/05/dirt-cheap-wireless/

datasheet of ir receiver here: http://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/pdf/168770/everlight/irm-3638n3.html

best,
jacob

i wouldn't use serial classes that.  

i monitor ir sensor manually through digitalread/analogread , time data in.  however, prone interference, sunlight or lamp without carrier.
