Kinda.  I did try to make FreeBSD/alpha build under OSF-1, but there
were many problems.  It could be done, but needed many compatibility
routines to make it even a remote possibility.  I punted.  This was
before John Birrell's heroic efforts, however.

One could likely get FreeBSD/alpha building on osf-1 (assuming hand
built build tools) if the cross building support for FreeBSD was a
little better.  It isn't an out of the box thing, as far as I know.
