Yes but afaik the only system which implements it is freebsd-current
(on glibc it is aliased to memalign iirc); note that also *BSD malloc
should guarantee proper alignment, quoting the manpage:

"The allocated space is suitably aligned (after possible pointer
coercion) for storage of any type of object."

So it would be better to have MEMALIGN_HACK configurable, making it
depend on the presence of memalign is not very right.
