>From xc/config/cf/xf86site.def for the upcoming 3.2 release:

#ifdef AlphaArchitecture
#define XF86S3Server YES
#define XF86S3VServer YES
#define XF86Mach64Server YES
#define XF86P9000Server YES
#define XF86I128Server YES
#define XF86TGAServer YES
#endif

To those I will be adding a Matrox Millenium server (actually just patches
to the INTEL-tested version that's part of the SVGA server in 3.2, that there
wasn't time to submit to 3.2).

So, looks like the field is free for you to have a go at it!!! :-)

I would send mail to xfree86@xfree86.org to see if anyone else has approached
them on the same subject.
