If you have a model number and/or pictures, we could probably figure out a
modern replacement. The biggest things to try to match would be size, CFM,
voltage, and the number of wires (for any PWM control and RPM sensor).
Digikey seems to have a fairly good assortment of available fans.

So gentlemen, my Alphaserver 4100 shut itself down
with a sad announcement
about a dead CPU fan. I have a parts mule which has donated a CPU fan a
couple years ago and I can take the second and last CPU fan from there but
then I have no more fans.
Can the CPU fan be obtained? Can they be rebuilt?
The 4100 has a series of fans between the 3 power supply slots and the
main backplane which I found could not be easily obtained so I tore them
all apart and replaced the bearings with good results but I suspect that
the lttle CPU fans will not respond so well to attempts at repair.
