I'm using one on an alpha:
Preloaded elf module "rp.ko" at 0xfffffc000074e0c0
<...>
rp0: <RocketPort PCI> port 0x10080-0x100bf irq 9 at device 10.0 on pci0
RocketPort0 (Version 3.02) 8 ports.
<..>
I needed to backport the -current driver because the alpha needs the
busspace work present in the -current driver. In case you have more
luck with the -current driver, I've left it a
http://people.freebsd.org/~gallatin/rp.tgz
Just extract it into /usr/src/sys, cd /sys/modules/rp, make depend,
make install.
To try it, remove the rocketport device from your kernel, reboot, and
load the new rp.ko module.
