I don't think there is an alpha port, no. The split comes originally from
the MIPS version of NT though, not Alpha.

I can confirm the 2GB split between OS and App RAM. It is something to
do with the Alpha port of NT I think and to keep things consistent for
the coders, Microsoft translated the Alpha restriction to the Pentium
version. I believe W2K has the same problem but I don't think there is
an Alpha port of W2K - can this be confirmed?
