I'm still using PSP7, but here's how I make semi trans graphics.

Load up the .tga, then from the 'mask' menu, load from alpha.

Once you have your alpha channel loaded, 'mask' again and 'edit.'
At this point your color map should change from rgb to black/white. Select the area you want to be semi-trans and fill it with a shade of grey. Lighter tones are less transparant, darker is more transparent.

Once you have the transparency you want, 'mask' and 'save to alpha' (I always delete the old alpha channel in this step) Then get out of mask/edit mode, and save the .tga itself.

Heres what I posted when I first figured this out

It also has a link to a psp tutorial thread that helped me out some...
