Have a look at

,----[ C-h v gnus-buttonized-mime-types RET ]
| gnus-buttonized-mime-types is a variable defined in `gnus-art.el'.
| Its value is 
| ("multipart/signed" "multipart/alternative")
| 
| 
| Documentation:
| List of MIME types that should be given buttons when rendered inline.
| If set, this variable overrides `gnus-unbuttonized-mime-types'.
| To see e.g. security buttons you could set this to
| `("multipart/signed")'.  You could also add "multipart/alternative" to
| this list to display radio buttons that allow you to choose one of two
| media types those mails include.  See also `mm-discouraged-alternatives'.
| This variable is only used when `gnus-inhibit-mime-unbuttonizing' is nil.
| 
| You can customize this variable.
| 
| This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in
| version 22.1 of Emacs.

With this setting I get buttons for multipart/alternative mails which
allow me to switch from one alternative to the other.

You can also switch from viewing one part to viewing another by pressing
`b'.  (Most of the time I don't use the buttons to switch, but they're a
nice indicator.)
