Yes. I've never done it but I have a friend who owns alpaca and she has felted objects made from her alpaca's wool.

It felts like crazy. I've done it without even trying. *facepalm*

I've never tried it but I've seen patterns for felted alpaca, so I would guess, yes. (Otherwise the pattern makers are lying liars who lie.)

My one word of caution: don't felt something that has alpaca yarn and wool yarn in different locations. They felt at different rates.
Otherwise, have at it!

I've seen it done with a needle-felting machine, but I got the impression that it's not easy.
If you're planning on knitting and felting/fulling an object, you'll want to try a test-swatch first.
