Huh?

   NetBSD runs on almost all of the existing
   alpha systems, including some of the more
   unusual ones with proprietary or legacy bus
   architectures, such as the large-scale 8400,
   all of the TURBOchannel systems, the 4100
   series, and the EISA-only Jensen.

Sounds like it should work to me....

Yup, there it is in the supported model list:

     * DECpc AXP 150 (Jensen) (1.5)                                             

and support's apparently already in a full release too!
