They're available by default -- try hovering the mouse over the author's
name in the page history to see the IP address.  :-)

At any rate, the IP addresses of changes are stored in the page history
file, so the information is there by default.  If hovering over the
authorname doesn't work for you, you can explicitly display the IP
address in the page history by setting:

    $DiffStartFmt = "
      <div class='diffbox'><div class='difftime'>\$DiffTime
        \$[by] <span class='diffauthor' title='\$DiffHost'>\$DiffAuthor</span>
        (\$DiffHost)</div>";
