i don't think the 911 thing is much of an issue. you have to sign up for 911 service and then they locate public service access point that should be called for your address. once they have it set up, that's where your calls go to. at least that's how i read it.
as for your family in AK, i imagine it's going to be a long distance call for them to call you regardless of what area code you use when you sign up with vonage (assuming that you're correct about them not serving that area code). you can get a 1-800 number through vonage, though, at $4.99 a month (covers up to 100 minutes). it's not a service i'm all that interested in, but i can see times that it would be handy for some.
