AFAIK, there is currently no WWW page documenting what models are
supported.  From -current's alpha GENERIC kernel:

# Platforms supported
options         "DEC_AXPPCI_33"         # UDB, Multia, AXPpci33, Noname
options         "DEC_EB164"             # EB164, PC164, PC164LX, PC164SX
options         "DEC_2100_A50"          # AlphaStation 200, 250, 255, 400
options         "DEC_KN20AA"            # AlphaStation 500, 600
options         "DEC_ST550"             # Personal Workstation 433, 500, 600
options         "DEC_3000_300"          # DEC3000/300* Pelic* family
options         "DEC_3000_500"          # DEC3000/[4-9]00 Flamingo/Sandpiper family

Caveats include the fact that the DEC_3000* machines currently have no 
support for SCSI devices because their 'esp' scsi driver has not yet
been CAM'ified.  

I'm currently running FreeBSD/alpha on a AS200 4/166, AS500/266,
AS600/266, and a few DPW500au's.

There is no X support (yet).
