Ok, I wil just guess.
Try to find Python 1.5.2 for your Alpha on NT (a search on
python.org should help). Worst case, take the Python source and
run it through your C compiler.
Then, take a regular Zope source release and install that.
I have never used NT on Alphas.

Another way would be to install Linux on your Alpha. There, the C
compiler is standard, Python is probably included in your Linux
distribution, and so it gets all rather easy.
