The ALT text displayed when an image is not available will inherit the
properties of the containing element. To unify your ALT text you can add a
font style to your img:

img { font: 1em arial #000 }

When you've got an href'd image that's farily large that's being pulled down
over a dialup line, you can see the alt text in the background as the image
loads.

Usually, this this text is a big, blue serif style.

Sure, once the picture gets completely downloaded, it's hidden, but during
the download process - over dialup - yuck!

I've seen some sites that have alt text behind a href'd picture, but the
text is relatively small and styled.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Is it as simple as creating an alt {} rule with the desired font, size and
color?
