As a quick fix, you might try to add:
#define __alpha 1

near the top of /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Imake.tmpl

Another way is to patch XFree86 like so:

--- XFree86-3.3.3/xc/config/imake/imakemdep.h.imake	Fri Dec  4 17:35:13 1998
+++ XFree86-3.3.3/xc/config/imake/imakemdep.h	Fri Dec  4 17:37:01 1998

+# ifdef __i386__

 #ifdef __uxp__

There are probably other ways too... ;-)
