It's undocumented, I believe, but you can control line transparency by setting the Color property to a 4-element RGBA value.
h=plot(rand(5,2),'r', 'LineWidth',4);
set(h(2),'Color',[1,0,0, 0.2]);

Note:
If you serialize a plot (such as save and restore, or send it between parallel workers), then the transparancy set in this manner will be discarded.

Line objects have never supported MarkerFaceAlpha or MarkerEdgeAlpha
MarkerFaceAlpha and MarkerEdgeAlpha are used for Scatter plots.
