Photoshop plugin doesn't support alpha channels in 16-bit SGI images either.
that is, it doesn't export the alpha.
If you need an interactive solution, the FXTree works fine, but command line
tools are probably your best option if you need a quick conversion.
imf_copy supplied with mental ray, or imgconv supplied with XSI should do
the trick. I'd lean towards imf_copy.
