I've searched around the place and never found anything either other than references on Hoff's page and a few other sites pointing to the same Sourceforge destination

At some point in time I would have thought VSI or Stormasys might develop something for when OpenVMS moves away from Itanium but I wonder if it would be worth it. 
I think most people who have gone to Itanium are on applications / software that can be ported much easier than some of the old Alpha stuff (like where I am), so the market need for an Itanium emulator might not be there?

I certainly would love to have one - then again, where is VSI's hobbyist program...
