MemProf, to my knowledge is simply impossible to port to the Alpha architecture due to the stack layout and calling conventions. (MemProf works by doing a complete backtrace for every malloc() or free. Backtraces on Alpha require searches to find the stack location, so the result would be something probably hundreds of times slower on Alpha than on i386, making it entirely useless.)
