I didn't know the answer to your question.  So I went to www.freebsd.org 
and entered "dec alpha" in the search window at the bottom left corner of 
the page.  The first result listed was 
http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ10.html where it states the following:

"FreeBSD 3.x currently runs on the DEC Alpha as well as the x86 
architecture. Some interest has also been expressed in a SPARC port, but
details on this project are not yet clear.

If your machine has a different architecture and you need something right 
now, we suggest you look at NetBSD or OpenBSD."

There was a great deal of information available (more than 25 hits).  I 
suggest you look them over at 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/search.cgi?words=dec+alpha&max=1000&source=www
