You can't use recent kernel sources without updating your userland.
Download a recent Alpha snapshot from "ftp.netbsd.org" and start
with that.

Try to compile a kernel using the "TCWSCONS" configuration file.
It should work properly with your machine's framebuffer.

ELF LKMs are support for a long time. The ELF based NetBSD-i386 1.5A system
I'm using right now has 13 LKMs loaded, of course all ELF format.
