There are many ways of doing this. Please explain your situation better.

If you want a constant alpha, set the alpha of the diffuse material property and enable blending as usual.

If you want per-vertex alpha, use color material mode, pass a color per-vertex and enable blending as usual.

the correct answer is: yes. glEnable(GL_BLEND); glEnable(GL_LIGHTING);
