Yes; because upstream says not to build it:
xc/config/cf/xfree86.cf:
490 /*
491 * DEC Alpha drivers
492 */
493 #ifdef AlphaArchitecture
[...]
554 # ifndef DevelDrivers
555 # if XFree86Devel
556 # define DevelDrivers /* */
557 # else
558 # define DevelDrivers /* */
559 # endif
560 # endif
561
562 /* Pure PCI drivers should go first */
563 # ifndef XF86CardDrivers
564 # define XF86CardDrivers mga tdfx glint s3 s3virge rendition tga ati \
565 savage nv DevelDrivers siliconmotion vga \

567 # endif
568 # if HasGlide3
569 # define TdfxDriDriver tdfx
570 # else
571 # define TdfxDriDriver /**/
572 # endif
If you know that the cirrus driver compiles and works, please tell me.
