Can't you just alpha enable them yourself?

Find the NiTrishape or Nitristrips of the mesh you want to alpha enable, right click and highlight node and select Attach Property(the only option i see, btw)
Then select NiAlphaproperty.
Now there should be a Nialphaproperty node appearing, right click it and select flags.
Now if you use Nifskope 1.0 up the settings, I think is.....

Enable blending: checked
Source Blend mode: Src Alpha
Destination Blend mode: Inv Src Alpha
Enable Testing: checked
Alpha Test Function: Greater
Alpha Test threshold: I believe it can be any number, but we normally use 125
No sorter: Checked

Hope this helps.

Hmmm. Maybe we ought to have a Tutorials forum, where things like this can get archived.
