Yes it is, and it should be for alpha.  alpha works because of this
hack:

#ifdef __alpha__
#define DMAADDR(dma, o) (alpha_XXX_dmamap((vm_offset_t) *(dma) + (o)))
#else
#define DMAADDR(dma, o) (vtophys(*(dma) + (o)))
#endif

But as a result alpha can only support limited amounts of physical memory
(1 or 2G max depending on the system I think).
