I assume that you have to texture (one for the hud, the second is the alpha map).
You can use a program like Gimp to load the hud texture and then add for the alpha channel the second texture.
If you have only one texture, with gimp do this:
levels->transparency->add alpha channel then press Z to enable the selection tool, select the zones that must be transparent and clear the selection.
Sorry if i've made some errors, I'm not english!
