NetBSD/alpha 1.6.2 does not use xsrc/xfree/xc but rather just the older
xsrc/xc sources and thus some of the newer features of xfree86-4 are not
present.  NetBSD/alpha also does not use the XF86 Xserver.

I.e. there is no problem here!  :-)

FYI the Xserver binary is called XdecNetBSD in this distribution, but
sadly there's no specific manual page for it (other than just
Xserver(1)) and there is no /etc/XF86Config, it is never created nor
needed.

(I'm not sure why it's not XalphaNetBSD, but that's a separate issue :-)
