For right now, at least, you want the NetBSD Alpha port.  There was
significant progress on the 21064 PCI Alpha systems for a FreeBSD
port, when the loaner machines had to go back.  The lions share of
the useable work (Jeffrey Hsu's) was integrated into the NetBSD
Alpha port.

If someone else has an Alpha port in progress, I don't know about it.
