Yes, I believe there will be alchemy crafting stations. An image of one is actually shown over here : http://sotawiki.net/sota/Category:Crafting You will probably be able to purchase one in-game just like other tables, or perhaps make one from scratch.
Being able to build crafting stations would be pretty sweet. I doubt we'll see it any time soon though. There is definitely alchemy. It will be interesting to see what all can be done with it. There's been a LOT of ideas tossed about over the months but I don't think any recipes are in yet.
