I think huwnet's right.
Yould do something similar to the alt tag with javascript and have line breaks but you'd still need the alt tag for the page validate. don't know ehat that would look like.

As said, there is no way to put markup into an alt tag but you can like dpyers mentions use JS instead of the alt tag like here: http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/imagetooltip.htm

It's javascript so it's always slow when it executes.
Shouldn't impact page redering unless you're doing something onload. Some of the javascripts for this type of thing also allow images. You'd probably want to preload them before the page renders which might slow things down some.

A search engine will look at alt image text and toss a few points your way if it's got content related stuff in it. Don't beleve they do the same for text in javascript though.
