The various netrek clients do build; I've done it and used them on my own
Vanilla server installation (which also compiles and works. :)
The problem as you point out is that the various servers won't let
"unblessed" clients play, and there are no blessed Linux/Alpha clients (though
there is, I believe, a blessed OSF/1 client.)
FWIW, I'd also like a blessed Linux/Alpha client. However, until then you
can use the "JTrek" Java client. Unfortunately, it's almost a bit too slow
on my 533MHz SX164, so anything less and you'll probably find it unusable.
