When I apply a bitmap texture that has an alpha channel, I'm expecting the material to be transparent in the transparent part of the texture, but that doesn't happen. What setup do I need to get that to happen correctly? (if not in the viewport, at least in the render?)

You have to put the same texture into the alpha channel.
