Almost.  Not quite.  At least as I understand it, there are still some
changes that haven't been re-integrated to the main sources (because of
how they will affect other ports).  However, the Alpha-specific changes
are available, and most all of it is available in the master sources,
and integration is part of the plan.

But yes, contact http://www.netbsd.org/ or port-alpha@netbsd.org for
more info.
