And the solution is using the patch above (pointed to me by John and
Louis). The only problem is I cant find the patch on the Net... Contacting
my local DEC support (DEC do Brasil) the tech support send me a copy of
the tftpd file asap (thanks to Roberto Koishi <koishi_at_vaxspo.enet.dec.com>).
Now the patch text:

Subject: Re: tftpboot + multiple-ip on the interface
Patch number OSF350-089 fixes this problem, see below
for details.
John
********************************************************************************
PROBLEM: (Patch ID: OSF350-089) (HPAQA69B2,QAR40362)
********
Attempting to tftpd to an aliased interface will give "ICMP Destination
unreachable" messages when multiple read requests are required to transfer data.
Typical Error Messages are "ICMP Destination unreachable" or "Port unreachable".
To reproduce the problem, tftp to an aliased interface and transfer a file
larger than 512 bytes. The transfer will require multiple read requests
and will return an error on the second read request.
FILE(s):
/usr/sbin/tftpd subset OSFINET350
CHECKSUM: 35429 32 RCS: 4.2.11.2 (tftpd.c)
--------------------------------------------------

# cd /usr/sbin
# cp -p tftpd tftpd.orig
# cp -p /patches/tftpd tftpd
# chown bin:bin tftpd
# chmod 755 tftpd
