Depends on the part of WebSphere you're talking about. WebSphere represents an entire suite of very wide-ranging products.
WebSphere Developer, Studio Application Developer, and Application Server could be replaced by Windows 2003, .NET and Visual Studio (http://www.microsoft.com/net )
WebSphere Edge could be replaced by Squid (http://www.squid-cache.org/ )
WebSphere MQ could be replaced by BizTalk (http://www.microsoft.com/biztalk )
For your web platform you could go with Microsoft .NET, or Apache (http://www.apache.org ), or SharePoint (http://www.microsoft.com/sharepoint ) - there are a number of possibilities.
It really depends. Just do your research, or talk to people who have evaluated these solutions before. It's a very big decision, deciding what middleware frameworks to deploy - way beyond the scope of Y! Answers.

The Apache Software Foundation provides free and open source software that, combined, can be equivalenced to a Websphere Application Server
