I don't know enough about gnu configure or FreeBSD ports to comment intelligently. You should probably resend this (minus the netscape resolver issues) to either freebsd-ports@freebsd.org or freebsd-gnome@freebsd. You mgiht want to tell them what packages you have installed (ls /var/db/pkg). It may also be a good idea to grab the latest version of the ports tree via cvsup before contacting anybody. FWIW, I'm using my alpha as my desktop machine with gnome-1.4, built last August. It took me the better part of a week to get it building (most was thumb-twiddling while it built). I contributed patches to get the alpha build working to the gnome@ people. I think most were integrated, so gnome should build, but I haven't tried it since I don't want to kill my working setup. BTW, If you have an ev56 (21164A) or better, set CPUTYPE=ev56 in /etc/make.conf Some ports compile with -O2. gcc -O2 is suspected of creating buggy code on alphas when gcc has to do shifty/masky to access memory at byte or word granularitues. CPUTYPE=ev56 tells gcc to use the byte-word instructions which are present in ev56 and better & leads to better code.
