Maybe there is a place for a FreeBSD Alpha luddites group who could help
each other out.  I, for instance, am running FreeBSD on a PC164 which has
the jam to make world in a reasonable amount of time so I could build a
kernel and send it your way as long as we negotiated the appropriate
config.  Come to that, I don't mind spending 30 hours at the task because
I don't have to sit around and watch.

OTOH, just as you said, there are NetBSD and OpenBSD and they are a lot
more attractive to me than Linux.
